I love reading my friend John's blog. Although he may post something short, it isn't just a bite size chew. Its something you must think on and pushes you to think on.
His newest post, you can access through the title here, is about dysfunction. I have addressed this in alot of different posts this week. C-O-M-M-U-N-I-T-YPT 2, Servant Leadership(although I didn't say the words),and various other post about the body of Christ. I was addressing dysfunction, although at the time I don't know I would have called it that. I have come to a larger knowledge of this dysfucntion and I have become increasingly disenfranchised with people who are in the body who say they see it, but only to find out they have become so entranched with the lies of the dysfuction they become apart of it even more.
I don't know what the answers are. I do know that the questions I have must be potent because they have yet to be answered and met with anger and denial. Maybe I'm asking the wrong people, because I'm asking them to the people in the dysfuction and I should know that people that are living out their lives with insane thinking would give insane questions and I guess that makes me even more insane (insane=doing the same thing over again and expecting different results) to continue to chase them with my questions. I guess I want to see hope and I think that if I can continue to beat out my questions it might be out of them some honest answers, that then lead to change, growth, and complete fellowship with the body of Christ. There are times I feel like a prophet, I don't want to pretend I am,but I feel like one, I'm screaming to my section of dysfuction and I'm telling them,"Guys, I woke up! My eyes can truely see. I have been healed! Look with me. He has shown me a better way, will come with me and find it?" I keep looking at God and wondering and saying to Him, "you want me to do this alone?" I don't know. What I do know is I'm in the desert, I have friends here, they see what I see even though we might be in different parts of the desert, but we are still in the desert and we wonder a loud when will others join us?

in the land of the blind, the one-eyed man will be stoned.
on a more serious (?) note...
the problem with a chnmge from a predictable, comfortable dysfunction is that the next step is dysfunctional, but unpredictable, unstable, and miserable.
most people (in families, churches, organizations) see that step and head right back to dysfunctional but predictable.
i have a talk that i give on this subject - i'ss share some of it when we see you in august.
I will look forward to it. :)
I kept looking at the joke and trynig to understand. I just now got it.
I guess your right. frusterating.
Had more frusteration added today. I'm trying to figure out how to blog about it or express the emotions. Maybe it isn't worth trying to verbalize out loud here though. Don't know today. :P
