Born Again Again - [Erik]
Like a foolish dreamer, trying to build a highway to the skyAll my hopes would come tumbling down, and I never knew just why
Until today, when you pulled away the clouds that hung like curtains on my eyes
Well I've been blind all these wasted years and I though I was so wise
But then you took me by surprise
Like waking up from the longest dream, how real it seemed
Until your love broke through
I've been lost in a fantasy, that blinded me
Until your love broke through
All my life I've been searching for that crazy missing part
And with one touch, you just rolled away the stone that held my heart
And now I see that the answer was as easy, as just asking you in
And I am so sure I could never doubt your gentle touch again
It's like the power of the wind
Like waking up from the longest dream, how real it seemed
Until your love broke through
I've been lost in a fantasy, that blinded me
Until your love, until your love, broke through
- Keith Green
This isn't how I feel right now, but it's what I need. I wish I wanted God, but for now I guess I'll have to settle for wanting to want to want Him.
He may be giving us a second chance. Stay tuned.
As soon as I can tell you what's up without screwing up my life worse, I'll give you all the details.
Thanks for all the kind words. For now, we still have the blogosphere.

Holy Cow!!! What the hell happened? Erik, call me.
Erik,
Wanting to want God is wanting God. Our simple minds create the abstraction. I struggle often with the same illusion.
totally love that song...
Hey bro, I'm sure you have tons of people calling, emailing, etc. But if you need anything (talk, cuss, drink a beer over the phone), you've got my number.
I hope all is well.
Thanks Señor and Jordy and Regular. I've had a few emails and a few calls and lots of drinking and cussing. Looks like I've turned a corner though, and I'll be able to talk about what's been going on in the next couple days. For now, I'm looking forward to getting Etcetera back in the stream.
Etcetera is comming back?!?! Woo hoo!
Erik,
I was wanting to say that your discussion with Matt about being honest with yourself on October 10 was really awesome. I was touched. I know what you're thinking, that was Brendon Manning. You're wrong though. It was God. You and Matt and Manning are all conduits. It is only when you are open enough to let your garbage spill out will you be open enough for God's love to spill out too. I don't know what's goin' on with you, but I love you guys. :-)
Jordan
