The lone, wild goose

My Lord, what a week it's been. Without getting too far into the details of the week, the last seven days have been over-the-top stressful. I have been asking some tough questions of late and am not satisfied with the answers I have been coming up with!
Tonight, however, I'm reading dcom and p&q papers for friends of mine out on my porch. The weather is crisp and cool and the papers are good! My soul feels like it's getting a bit of a rest from the chaos of the last seven days.
While I'm not a big believer in "signs" per se, I just recieved one, I think. It's 10:12 pm and the moon is shining brightly. Out of no where a few moments ago I heard the rustiling of feathers and then I heard the honking of a solitary Canadian goose. In Scotland, the wild goose is considered a symbol for unpredictable and, at times, disruptive nature of the Holy Spirit. I feel encouraged! Perhaps the Spirit is doing a new thing in the midst of a bit of chaos!

Martin Luther King Day, 2010

Another MLK day has come and I wonder what his ministry would look like if he were still with us today? What fruits would have been harvested from the Poor People's Campaign? What of his work opposing Vietnam? Because of hate, we will never know.
I started a book yesterday that I've been meaning to read for years: "Bonhoeffer and King: Speaking Truth to Power" by J. Deotis Roberts. Currently, I am reading about the impact of early adulthood impacted their respective ministries. I wonder what paths they would have taken in this day and age?
