You can’t reach the heart of hearts with a spade, only the King.  No diamonds,  no queen, no joker will find the pearl and its heart outside the King.

Buckling up for adventure rather than safety.

True courage is when you are no longer too frightened to be a coward.

Never cut short grief and anger but don’t stop there either.

Prepacked strengths to serve others.

Interior glances brought on by variation and surprise through spontaneity and freedom.

Adventure and anxiety go hand in hand as we walk into our life purpose though when we hear “Don’t be anxious”, we are not to let anxiety get to the point it distracts us from our purpose or begins to defeat it.

I went to the movie Inception and was fascinated by how one of the movie’s themes would evolve through the use of a maze . This maze is so complex that it would confuse the brightest and the best from discovering an escape, even after theft of an idea that they thought would lead to success as freedom. This theme reminded me so much of reliance on man’s wisdom in this world. After meeting the young girl who would transform the main character through her developing wisdom by his ability to challenge and teach her, his inability to discover an escape from the 3rd maze she developed in real time ushered him into a level of freedom in thought that would transform his evil ways into a vision of and for him that would set him free not by his own hand but involving the use of it to the better good.

During my first viewing of the movie, I realized that word “maze” is a part of the verb “to amaze,”  which can imply a context of mystery as well as freedom from prisons known or unknown in which we live out our dreams. The amazing thing about deliverance is that there is a  maze in mystery that is freedom rather than a prison. In prison, no matter what maze you pass through to escape, you find an even bigger one that encircled the one from which you escaped.

Mystery is the opportunity to trust in being delivered versus planning the escape into just an even bigger maze of distrust and confusion. Freewill was given to us so that a choice can be made. This freedom of choice results in two things: deliverance or a deception. The result of deception comes from believing that there is light at the end of the tunnel of man’s wisdom when the tunnel was actually another funnel cloud of hopelessness.

The maze in amazing is truth that sets you free. When the Son sets you free, you will be free in deed and need. As the movie ends, the transformation of the use of skills, talents, and gifts in the right community reverses the process of theft of a seed-and- idea for corruption as a means to selfish yet noble ends. Instead, a seed is planted that grows more powerfully than a virus, a growth to man’s ultimate good in the world where each person lives affecting the greater good.

Celebrate!

Falling asleep at the kneel.

Getting  real is coining you own phrases to fluently- not honestly- reveal your heart rather than the use of counterfeit words of emotion that often only relect the expectations of others for you.

I find it difficult to get to the heart of the matter with many because they are often not sure whose heart it is that really matters. This is relflected in an absense of meaning and a search for certainty that can destroy relationships.

It is important that we be a safe haven where others can come to share so that they can begin to know their own hearts while  no longer stammering  in what is known as honesty that is not always so accurate a picture as one  thinks.

Behavior then can match up with one’s belief  because now the words reflect and carry the essense of who one really is.  Either The heart of who we are matters or nothing does.
