The Fabric of Faithfulness

So what is your story? Gideon Strauss challenges me with his story. And expresses several convictions that I feel are worth reflecting. 1. Christian conviction being the spirit born resonance as "my story" intersects the story of the gospel expressed in time and space in the person of Jesus Christ ministering amonth the 12 and others in first century galilee. 2. Salvation is not just a "point in time" accomplishment that can be hung like a diploma - but the beginning of a life long process (Journey, Battle, choose your metaphor here....) Of course, my story is much different: A covenant child - faith and faithfulness has been modeled for me since I can remember. The process as a university student became one of taking that story I saw in others, and reconciling it with the world I saw around me, and making it my own. The resonance was slow growing, I can't point to a singular moment of vigil or surrender - but a the end it is my own - and I work forward in the process toward being a faithful follower. But story nonetheless - and worth more than the two minutes telling I can steal from paying work.
