iWitness

...God is all around us but we move so fast we miss Him.
I've been in a place for awhile where the Holy Spirit shows me where God is during the ins and outs of everyday life...

I have a couple of kids, an awesome wife, and a trail running dog. Together we are seeking God and letting His love spill out on the broken and forgotten.

I believe God has given me a voice that might speak to you too...join us.

Door gods in Africa...

Back in the day when I was actually surfing daily and not just dreaming about it, weekend nights were spent at the bar washing the pain of "noodle arms" away...paddling all day kinda hurts. We knew most of the "door gods" at the club so we got in for free...

These guys controlled who got in...they were the judges...if you didn't fit the type of client they wanted....well as was often heard "sucks to be you"...

I was reminded of those days when I went to the Orion Hotel down the street from the Diocese Compound in Tabora for dinner... the same attitude no matter where you go I guess....

so here's where i land of this....door gods are like the Pharisee's and the Scribes...looking at the outside of people and judging them on appearance. Jesus just ain't cool with this...He looks into the heart, past the rags and the fur coats...smart attire is a transformed loving heart, one that has been given by none other that the chief door God...God himself...

and yes, He does reserve the right of admission...
"come unto me all who are burden and tired of carrying your heavy loads. Take my yoke from me and learn from me, for my yoke is easy and my burden is lite..."

I'm all for The Door God...and trying to get others into the club too....trust me, it's Heavenly!
