Shame Revolt: A Brief Intermission

Its been a few weeks since I've written. This is not for lack of desire to do so. Since my last blog I've thought of a great number of aspects of shame and faith to cover and I'm excited to help us find ways to make shame revolting (see what I did there).

The last month or so was filled, to the brim, overflowing onto the table, down into the chair seat, and puddling the floor with holiday stress, busyness, and ultimately cheer. While I felt a burning desire to write, family, friends, my paying ministry job, and watching The Polar Express with my little gal took precedent.

I also organized in Memphis a musical event that has blessed my wife and I the last several years. If you have an opportunity to see it in a city near you, take that opportunity. The event was called Andrew Peterson Presents "Behold the Lamb of God."  Its a telling of the Christmas story (not the "Frosty and Rudolph" version but the "Messiah in a manger" one". The story is told from via 11 or 12 folk, rock, blue grass, and country songs beginning with the exodus from Egypt, through the Promised Land, judges, prophets, exile, and finally the arrival of Jesus.

Get this album. See this show.

Anyway, that took a good chunk of my energy and resulted in what I'll dub a "work hangover" for a few days.

However, Christmas travels have now ceased, bags are unpacked (mostly), and the tree comes down today (you are welcome to volunteer to do this for us, Jesus would love you for it).*

I plan to publish "You're Kind of a Big Deal Part 2" by Monday if not before. Can't wait to get back to sharing with you what a bid deal you are in the shame revolt!


*This may not be 100% theologically accurate.

The Polar Express is my favorite Christmas movie! It has allowed me to realize that things could always be magical if only we believe. I know that as we grow up, people tend to forget about their childhood. When you grow up, you are expected to become mature and there should be no room for any childish imagination. But I do not believe in this because imagination is what keeps us sane. By imagining, we get to foresee what we would want to be in the future. It helps us be on track and be on the right path towards happiness and success.
