About

I'm a Christian who is a millennial, working for a religious organization/not for profit/church which is in the process of an identity crisis (at least in my country/territory).  I'm writing about visions, dreams, critical responses to other thinkers which are put in the context of my organization/church.  This is a space for the overflow of my mind which somehow is not finding a place for immediate application in my life.  A collection of these things, so that perhaps it will be helpful to someone else, and in future I can refer to it and remember...

Island of God's Love

Over the summer of 2018, I spent a week+ at Camp Wonderland in Wisconsin, with the Central Bible Leadership Institute. This is a conference for Salvation Army people, during which we spend time singing, praying, listening, studying together.  During one of the times when we were singing, we sang a song which had lyrics about going deeper into God's love.  There seem to be a whole bunch of these songs lately, somehow 'going deep' is popular.  But it seems pretty scary to me- I mean, I think about deep oceans and I think about movies like the Titanic and Life of Pi where the ocean was not a friend. A few years earlier I had a vision while praying/meditating, which was about going up onto shore from the ocean of time.  Time passed slowly the shallower the water got- and the more time spent in God's presence, the shallower the water became.  Time could disappear completely if one were to spend all their time with God. The vision was that of a tropical island, ...
