Pastor’s Blog- May 2012

A blank page is staring me in the face this morning. It is time to write something for the newsletter and I have a blank page for you. Blank pages are alright but they don’t fill up the space in the newsletter and empty space makes all of us more than just a little uncomfortable. I wonder why we are so uncomfortable with blank pages.

Could it be that if our pages are not filled to the margins that we have room for the unexpected? Unexpected events jar us and jumble our control of our lives so we do not really enjoy blank pages or unscheduled events. Some days we need blank pages so we can listen for the direction of the Holy Spirit. Are we trying to fill every page to the margins so we are so busy, or we think we are so busy, that we have a really good excuse for not stopping and listening for the Spirit’s nudging?

The crush of Holy Week is over. We have looked inside the tomb and it is empty. Jesus is alive and present in the world and in our lives if we can only give him a blank page so he can write all over us. God said, “For surely I know the plans I have made for you, plans for your welfare and not for harm, to give you a future with hope.” Jer. 29:11.

So it looks to me like blank pages are O.K.  Enjoy the day. It sure looks like it’s going to be a corker and rest in the wisdom that the page will not remain blank. Look to the margins and see what the Lord has written just for you.
