Restlessness...

I am restless tonight. It is 2:30 in the morning, and I teach in six and a half hours. Yet, I am not able to sleep, and the reason is that I cannot help feeling a sense of being wrapped up in something bigger than myself. The story of God redemption of man keeps playing through my mind...what an amazing story...and here am I an actor in the script of God's redemption. A small role. With but a few actions to act out on the stage, before the curtain falls on me.

This sense of being a part of the story has captured me for some time, but tonight especially as I sit in a land of darkness. With paradigms and categories that defy all my theology and all of what I believe about God's character. I simply rest in the fact that I am an actor in the story of God's redemption, and I have an opportunity to live my part out tomorrow before those who are not yet apart of the production.
