Life is a Journey

I am a Star Wars fanatic and I am a follower of Christ. The similarities between the Christian Faith and the Jedi Order have caused books to be written and I find it to be a great way to present my personal journey of faith as Jedi/Christian.

I know I am no longer a Padawan but somewhere in the midst of my knighthood my path got blurred, my faith had weakened, and I had almost lost hold of the purpose of the Jedi. Now equipped with the love of a family, a renewed hope with a purpose I am trying to find the my way back to the Order. My goal and desire is to be a Knight worthy of the honor, blessing and title of the Order. I Knight walking by deeds, words and power as I strive and grow into what the Masters have called me to be.

My Journey has not been easy and I have stumbled, struggled,
faltered, fell, even at times given up. However the Force and many of the Orders Knights and Masters haven't given up on me. So this is were you can join me in the very midst of my journey. That is the purpose of this blog. To be a place where others can join me in the journey that lies in the places somewhere between Padawan And Master. I hope to share the insight and words that touch my soul and catch hold of my intellect and my heart. To expose the things I fear and those things that spur me forward. It is my journey and I welcome you along.

Words that struck a cord - 11/20/2010

Hebrews 11:3 (Amplified Bible)

3By faith we understand that the worlds [during the successive ages] were framed (fashioned, put in order, and equipped for their intended purpose) by the word of God, so that what we see was not made out of things which are visible.

I read this verse in 'The Controversy: Roots of the Creation-Evolution Conflict'. It was one of two bible references that Dr. Chittick uses to establish the biblical support for God creating everything out of nothing. I am not sure of how many times I have read this verse or the opening verses in the Gospel of John which was Dr. Chittick's other reference. But today they reached something inside. Or we could say they stuck a cord.

Why did God take nothingness and create this world? This Galaxy? This Universe? Why did he create you or me or anybody and everybody else? I don't know but if I can't find anything else to be thankful about during this week that leads to one of the few truly American holidays I can be thankful that He did.

God I believe you created the universe and that includes me. So thank you for me. Help me to find a way to live life with joy and gratitude for me being me.

Just a side thought. If everything came from nothing through God. Then when we are feeling like nothings all we need is God to do his handy work. Then as always a nothing becomes a something.
