Vulner-almost

I am one of those volcanic bloggers, the kind that lets the pressure build until I have no other choice but to spew out a steady stream of the burning within me. Hopefully, one day, the stream will flow freely, but for now I am what I am.

In the last few months, I have become involved with co-organizing a christian young adults "gathering" in my town, the purpose of which was to discuss the paradoxical issues that christians face today. The catch phrase of the group is something to the effect of "living the unexpected." This last Sunday evening, we met, and the discussion centered around freedom, the freedom proclaimed by Jesus. We discussed what freedom looked like, freedom to be ourselves, freedom from sin, freedom from fear, freedom from keeping up "good Christian" appearances, and freedom that comes from the revelation of the Truth of God.
