And so it begins ...

It was in the city of Antioch, several years after Jesus had been crucified, that the word "Christian" was first used.  The word literally meant, "Follower of Jesus" - with  perhaps a connotation of one being likened to a "little" Christ. I find it interesting and even sad that so many who are called 'Christians' remain 'little' ... remain an infant ... although the Bible certainly proclaims we should GROW UP (Ephesians 4.11-15).  Living profound Christianty is an intentional movement toward growing into the fullness of Jesus Christ -- it is being willing to take a risk and engage life in its completeness without fear -- just as Jesus, the Rabbi did. Profound Christianity means opening our eyes to see Truth as it is revealed by the Creator ... in nature, in sacred writing, in mystery, in those who have lived before us, in those living around us right now, and in embracing each moment of life as a gift. This and more is the purpose of this blog.  I invite you to join me in this adventure.
