Velvet Elvis - Week 3
On Christian Book Club we are continuing our reading of “Velvet Elvis”. I think that this is a very interesting read. I get why it has some people stirred up. There have already been a couple of times when I could feel myself getting a little defensive as I read the book. One example was when he wrote about the virgin birth. He certainly affirms his belief in the orthodoxy of the Christian faith, but when he is submitting the questions is still gets me a little excited. Ultimately, I think it is a very positive experience to be challenged. I don’t want to be stuck in “brickianity”. Let me know if any of Bells ideas have got you thinking. I look forward to your comments as we continue our reading. This week you should be well in into Movements 5 and 6.

what a privalege to be asked to follow a rabbi who has come to bring the world back to the garden before the fall. he tells me that his yoke is light not like that of earlier rabbis. his teaching is of love and to share that with all and when not accepted to love them more. so as i walk in his word and spirit i traval a road filled with smoke and mirrors trying to lead me down the wrong path but he has given me a road map of words that keep me on the road home. the way i see going home is being home, in the garden, or bringing heaven to earth by my actions, like eating food which is grown in dirt that was prepaired with the organism Our Father made to do the job and not mans destuctive ways.
