Isaiah 11 today. Even in the first 39 chapters themed by prophecies of judgment, devastation and inevitable captivity for the ancient people of God over their unwillingness to repent, there are these glimpses of a future so gorgeous and unfathomable, they take your breath away.->

“The wolf will dwell with the lamb & the leopard will lie down with the goat. The calf, the young lion & the fattened calf will be together & a child will lead them... An infant will play beside the cobra’s pit & a toddler will put his hand into a snake’s den. They will not harm

or destroy each other on my entire holy mountain for the land will be as full of the knowledge of the Lord as the sea is filled with water...& His resting place will be glorious.” The enmity that burgeoned from sin in the Garden & from soil cursed with thorn & thistle will end.

The theme of that section in Isaiah 11 is safety. When God’s kingdom comes and His will is done on earth as it is in heaven, there will be safety. Infants & children will never again be in harm’s way. Carnivorous animals will no longer tear their prey apart. They will eat straw.

All this destruction & trauma will be over. Both Testaments preach this eschatological hope. One day this world will pass away & there will be, Dear Loved of God, a new heaven & a new earth & God’s dwelling will be with us & ours with Him.And grief, crying & pain will be no more.

We will no longer be afraid.
We will no longer hate or be hated or hunted.
We will no longer fear what lurks in the dark for all darkness will be dead.
The Lord will be our everlasting light.
No more bloodshed.
No more violence.
No more suffering children.
We will all be safe.

PS. For my 6th birthday, I asked for a baby elephant complete with beads and plumes that I could ride to school every morning for 1st grade. My parents wouldn’t get me one but I’m thinking under these conditions, there’s eschatological hope for baby elephants with purple plumes.

There are certain expectations we are absolutely right to have about people in any realm of Christian ministry: Pastors, teachers, communicators, singers, worship leaders, church leaders, representatives of Christian nonprofits, etc. Expect them to be flawed? Imperfect? Yes. BUT

Expect them to be genuine regarding Jesus and the people they serve in his name. Paul told Timothy to to “keep away from youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faithfulness, love & peace in company with others who call on the Lord from a pure heart.” If over time they don’t,

that’s not where you want to be. Do not get it in your head no matter what comes out about any person in Christian work that it’s the way you may as well expect all of them
to be. That’s hogwash. You won’t find anyone perfect. Anyone who walks in the Spirit every second. But you

Thinking of the psalmist’s words of distress in Psalm 116:11. “Everyone is a liar.” I’ve lately caught my attitude toward governmental officials being, “you’re all a bunch of liars.” The Holy Spirit points out in this psalm that arriving at this summation is severely oppressive.

And surely it is. And surely this is one reason we of faith are commanded to pray for our leaders. It shields our own hearts, too. The lazy thing to do here is argue over who the biggest liars are. My point is how oppressive it is to think we can’t trust leaders to be truthful.

Of course, there are honest officials out there. Characterizing all by some is cynicism & cynicism left to grow morphs into oppression. Here’s the thing: we CAN trust the Lord. He already told us not to place our trust in humans. Pray for them, yes. Entrust ourselves to them? No.

You know what fun thing you young career writers have to look forward to? Happening on a phrase, a sentence or a crude drawing you scrawled on some random piece of paper that God grew into a book. It’s happened to me so many times. And I always stop, smile and think on it.

Writing’s a hard profession. Maddening. And either impressively defiant in a social media world flatlining our reading comprehension or just plain stupid. Immediate gratification is a fool‘s hope which is why you turn to Cheetos. And as paragraphs gradually materialize on paper,

your book has an uncanny way of having been so much better before you wrote it. Then, should some publisher actually show interest in it, the question becomes whether or not your ego can bear the criticism. And then, of course, there are all the deletions.

You know how you sometimes can’t articulate a season of your life till you begin coming out of it? I’m having that experience. I feel like I’m waking out of a long winter’s night that began with the death of my beloved brother 18 months ago & began wrapping up about 1 month ago.

It was characterized by so much mourning (multiplied with the death of our 5 year old cutest-thing-ever bird dog), bone-deep exhaustion & increasingly unbearable physical pain. I couldn’t write. I could study & prepare messages but not write. I tried hard but nothing would come.

I didn’t have the energy to garden. My body was racked with too much pain to fool with my vines. Got so down about that, I couldn’t even go look at them. I didn’t have energy for complicated relationships or conflict.

Truly fought depression and lost.

This is a fairly niche tweet to any of you who are heads of ministries and nonprofits or are long time pastors of a church and you are nearing or well within retirement age. Assume that those who are working for you are wondering what your plans are. Don’t leave them hanging.

Denial is not only unhealthy for you, it is extremely unfair to those who work for you. We who are in Christ ought not fear facing natural decline. We can say all we want that we still have the energy of a teenager and the gifts and calling of God to stay in the lead but for most

it’s simply not reality & sometimes we can be the last to know. Do you have trustworthy people with the guts to tell you when it’s time to transition if even just a little at a time? Refusal to think about/talk about it signals that our identity is in our position, not Christ.

After your graciousness, I’ll share a couple of good recipes with y’all in a thread. I have to admit when someone has me beat and my friend Jan Morton’s southern cornbread dressing surpasses mine. The best, most consistent recipe for it I’ve ever tasted. granjansjoy.com/2016/11/dressi…

This is my high school boyfriend’s mother’s (lol) recipe for chocolate pecan pie. Makes two so, of course, half the recipe if you’re only making one. It’s absolutely fantastic. The alternative at the bottom is mine. My problem is, I think everything is better with cream cheese.

Best pancakes of your life.
