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.

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.

On keeping our sanity (and whatever is left of our relationships) here on X-Twitter or whatever the heck it is until we can’t take it anymore. (Which admittedly may be today.)

Yet another person I really enjoy following left this platform yesterday. This on the heels of one of

the kindest, most gracious, gentle-hearted individuals I know being driven off here last week or so. What a shame. I’ll quickly interject here that we will be held accountable by God, whether we believe in him or not, for the way we treat people including people on social media.

So, a few thoughts on making the best of a place getting worse:

1. Avoid just coming here for a fight. If we hate the constant contentiousness on here, we have to ask ourselves how often we feed it. If we love the constant contentiousness on here, we probably need therapy.

When I was in my late 20s, the Lord began to teach me a very simple but life-altering practice. What did I wish I had in him but lacked? “Ask me for it.” I was 27 when I sat in the classroom of a Bible doctrine teacher who loved the Scriptures more than he loved his next meal.

And this was no small man. He loved his next meal. I couldn’t even identify what it was at first. I got in my car after class and cried out to the Lord, I don’t know what that was but I want it!

“Ask me for it.”

I did and did and did and did. Still do. And he gave it to me.

I wanted to want what Jesus wanted but my heart was so malformed and my desires so deceitful that I wanted what would destroy me.

“Ask me for it.”

I did and did and did and did and did. Still do. Though the flesh and Spirit will still war within me till I see Christ’s face,

Something kinda dear happened yesterday. Several days ago, I came into my office and my assistant had printed out an email that had come for me from a very gracious pastor from my longtime faith tradition. I took it home and left it out for Keith to read but forgot to show him.

I was at the sink in our bathroom washing my face, getting ready for bed when he walked in holding the letter with tears streaming down his face. “I needed this so badly,” he said in broken words. “I’ve hated them so much.” Grace him for that. It’s been a lot for my family.

It’s much better now but Keith’s health crisis delayed him grappling with it fully. Also, you know how most of us are. Mess with us but don’t mess with our family. We’ll come out swinging.

As I walked out the door yesterday to work, Keith said, “The man left contact information.

Ok, a couple more thoughts on the Bill Gothard influence highlighted in Shiny Happy People. I’m only a couple of episodes in and never got into the Duggar reality show nor did I ever attend a Gothard seminar or read his materials though I constantly ran in circles that did.

Here’s the convoluted part and what I was too tired to get into last night. If any of you have read my memoir, you know the name of it is “all my knotted up life.” Here’s a perfect example of what I mean by my knotted up thinking. Main reason I wasn’t drawn to BG or the Duggar’s?

A tangled up mess of toxic guilt and good discernment. I’ve told you guys before that I’ve spent a lifetime trying to figure out whether or not I could trust my gut. I wasn’t totally off base for wondering because I had such unresolved brokenness and had made so many mistakes.
