Had an amazing discussion in Sunday School class yesterday. I went back to do an "oldie but a goodie" - Rob Bell's 10th Nooma video, "Lump" If you've never seen it, visit the fine folks at flannel.org and order a copy today. (If you're a Church Streeter, you can check out a copy in the Church Library).
It's a great story about God's unconditional love and forgiveness. Two things we can really not be reminded of enough. Especially in these often dark, cynical times we live in. The discussion was powerful. The Holy Spirit was present. I'll never really capture it in words, but I'm just so thankful to have been a part of it.
I wanted to share the description of the video here on the blog. It really captures the spirit of the video, and is a good thought for us to kick off our week. Live blessed this week, my friend!
LUMP - NOOMA VIDEO #10
"A lot of us have done things in our lives that we're ashamed of. Some are small things, and some of us have really big and devastating things. some of us even have things that people close to us don't know about. Personal junk that we keep to ourselves so we don't have to deal with it. Because we don't know how to deal with it, do we? We're afraid that if we try it's just going to make everything worse. But no matter how big our junk is, no matter how much what we've done has impacted the way other people feel about us or how we feel about ourselves, it hasn't changed how God feels about us. God loves us, he always has and always will, and there's nothing we can do to change that."
