Wauw Doug! What a beautiful idea! I'm siting here in the early sunny morning (but still snow outside even the calendar says springtime) and all the small grey ones in the back of my head is jumping explodingly around - maybe it is what they call opening mind? ;-)
I never really thought of the Bible as written by persons who wanted to share their experiences and ways of living just to encourage me (and ok some others as well) - in a way we are writing a bible on this list aren't we? Have a nice day - whereever you are! Lise Sunny cold Copenhagen -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: OSLIST [mailto:[email protected]] På vegne af Douglas D. Germann, Sr. Sendt: 20. marts 2006 18:36 Til: [email protected] Emne: Bible-writing OST? Hi friends-- Below is the current Footprint in the Wind/sm which I have sent out to my small list. It has been working me, working in this way, and I need your help thinking this through: Could this be an invitation for a community OST? Who would we invite? Poets, prophets, letter writers, storytellers, conversationalist, people who want to meet raw side to raw side, givers, doers? Have any of you experienced such an OS? :-Doug. Germann Seeking people making community change. ----Forwarded Message(s)---- Footprints in the Wind/sm # 652 ooOOOoo o o Let us write a new Bible. Every year. Let us tell tales of men and women hearing the voice of G*d, leaving their lives to go on pilgrimages at any age; let us prophesy and turn our lives into object lessons; let us sing new songs and write grand flowing poetry; let us write letters to uplift each other, memorable letters to speak to generations; let us listen from the heart to others, daring to quietly share our vulnerabilities; let us tell our visions and revelations. Let us write not with pen and ink, but with lives afire. Save us for our living response to the Word wind-whispered to us by a G*d truly met, from being wizened men and women whose stiff fingers turn delicate pages seeking to divine small lessons for shriveling lives. Our Bible is living; we are its breath. Our story is its story. Let us dare to meet this G*d who dares to listen to us, let us respond by casting our lives into the mix, let us write the next page. o o ooOOOoo Please pass it on. :-Doug. By Douglas D.
