I searched, can the ocean ever run out of salt? It seems
like a ridiculous question or maybe just a rhetorical one. Can the ocean ever
run out of salt? What an absurd thing to wonder. I always get this way in the
dead of winter, the frozen Midwest tundra seems to elicit feelings of
helplessness and heartache for me.
Jesus' words of firing synapse of the taste buds of
humanity, and the blazing presence of collective light, well they seem like a
far off vision in this cold, cold little cave where we hibernate. So can the
ocean ever run out of salt? Can I, in fact, hide the light that is in me? Can I
hold it so tightly in that little squishy spot in my belly where fire rages and
where passion comes from and where disciples long before me have found strength
to preach the Gospel even in the midst of unspeakable violence, exile, and
abandonment.
Can the ocean run out of salt? And can the Christian ever
unknow the glory of God? The God who gives them life.
