BROTHERHOOD ~ Where Christ is Center Stage ~

Abilities, talents, gifts … Some, almost don’t even require baiting the hook in order to catch fish. Others ~ like me, we’re better off just going to the restaurant. Ha! Most ~ we’ve sat in the fuselage of the aircraft, traveling across the country … or across the world. But, you’re best off to keep me out of the cockpit … Just saying! Music ~ we have different genres ~ and rarely do you find a person who does not like to listen to ‘their’ music. And playing ~ I can handle a guitar. But, a concert at ‘Red Rocks’ ~ yeah, you won’t find ‘moi’ on stage.

So MANY gifts that proceed from each of us. One that will NEVER be mine, is what I recently saw in El Salvador, as two fine brothers in our Savior preformed acrobatics on ‘kids bikes’. Aka … BMX! Danny and Vic, your abilities, your talents, those gifts which you've been blessed with … they bring a smile to my face. And my reality ... of solely being a spectator. Indeed!

But ~ an ability … a gift ... that I’ve been blessed to enjoy … is that of reading scripture as it was originally written. But, let me be honest. I meet with three other brothers weekly … And I’m pretty much the High School student amonst the ‘Professors’. None-the-less, to be able to go to the source of those early New Testament authors. How cool is that?

So you can imagine my surprise when I asked Danny about his ‘BROTHSRHOOD’ sweatshirt. You see the S in the middle is that of the Greek Sigma ~ So here you had a guy who has this ministry which has Christ as the center … and he wasn't aware of the fact ‘Christ’ was right there in the center of his shirt. Yes, S is the first letter of ‘Savior’ … Sωτήρ … What was simply a fancy ‘E’, has become so much more!

Perhaps the MOST important part … is that Christ is in the CENTER of their, of our lives. Amen to that! And though, like all … we have those days, when like Peter on the sea … we’re sinking more than believing. Still, we are grateful for this ‘BROTHSRHOOD’ ~ that in those times where we might be sinking ... that He the Sωτήρ is always faithful! And the ‘BROTHSRHOOD’ ~~ being His instruments, using those gifts in which He has so blessed each of us with ~~ we stand as brothers in support of the other.

To Danny & Vic … Love you guys!
