What is this thing called life?
What is this thing called life?

We were watching a movie tonight, we have found that the many so called elders of the community don't teach the younger the plethora of life. Yes, information and caution, but not the stuff that makes us human. I have found this.
Generally speaking.
We went for a journey out side of the walls four years ago
and what we found is that the walls are made to make us act a certain way. I still think there is freedom inside the walls, but that kind of freedom is only within the system.
I envy the Native Americans and their strong sense of belonging to something greater. They talk of the ways of the land and the great spirit and hope on the wings of great golden eagles, and the Earth being their friend. Handing this down to their children and a descendants, So very deep and rich and amazing. The words and body language they would use totally, to describe the history of their people, a history of our people.
I love Jesus and the way our hope for a new life came from the creator's direct sacrifice of himself. How the the savior came into the world... left the glory of heaven to make a people for himself. A people who are in love with him because he has given us a choice to love him. Why? For he has twice proven himself to be worthy of love, a person who's created us after his own image and has paid the price of love: to the death and conquered it by his glorious resurrection.
This is my solid rock on which I stand.
What has happened is that tradition has taken, with the promise to give back,
and it hasn't given back. We do not know what we are any more, so we cannot be any better than what those we respect have told us from what they have been trained.
Yet, we have sacrificed our freedom for security,
we have given over our freedom, hoping for something better only to find a shadow
a shadow disappearing.
A foreshadow and type.
The Nursery is full and instead of letting the toddlers free have raised the crib bars higher.
It's not our faith In Jesus, that's disappearing, this maelstrom has proven his faithfulness.
Its our faith in the old system that we once held dear, that holds no real history of our people is vanishing away only the sure foundation that will remains and endure the violent storm of life, while giving us hope.
For those still watching us and waiting for our demise outside the institution, (I remember on person actually saying that this is what they expect for us)
we intend to live out here and make a new legacy in Jesus.
While you may be very comfortable to live within and die in your security of a system, that can function without you, watch out, because its become a automated machine. generally speaking directly.

So Christ has truly set us free. Now make sure that you stay free, and don’t get tied up again in
slavery to the law. For you have been called to live in freedom, my brothers and sisters. But
don’t use your freedom to satisfy your sinful nature. Instead, use your freedom to serve
one another in love. (Galatians 5:1;13)
