the one who hugs lepers
the one who commands the wind
reconcilor
life giver
law breaker
the one in whom all things hold together
the radiance of God's glory
the bread of life
the lion of Judah
the lamb of God
the one who washes sinners feet
the one who humbled himself unto death
the ransom from heaven
the first to practice the resurrection
the one who eats with sinners
the one who multiplies fish
the one who withers trees
the one who walks on water
the one who creates fish that have coins for tongues
he who prays at the Father's right hand
the one who provides
the one who teaches us to pray
the one who cries at death
the one filled with compassion
the great counselor
healer
lover of sinners
righteous for sinners
the one who baptizes with fire
the one who raises the dead
the one who conquers death
the one who nailed the law to the cross
the one who became sin so I could live
the God man that died
God in the flesh
the way the truth and the life
the one who rescues sinners from the kingdom of darkness and brings them into the kingdom of light
light
king
the one all will bow to
the Great I Am
the great shephard
the rock
the only reality
the great social reformer
the one who brought the best wine to the party
alive
the one who taught us to pray
the one that calls us to follow him
the one that doesn't heal
the one that is amazed by people's faith
the one that spits in peoples eye
the one who has authority over demons
my Lord

Expanding minds are a terrible thing to waste
As I am putting the final touches on my exiting thesis paper, I realizing how incomplete the paper is. This paper could easily turn into a master's thesis. There is so much more I want to learn and read and research. In some ways I feel like I am just getting started. I also feel like I am trapped by the requirements of the degree program from doing and exploring all that I wish to. Torn between exploring what I am passionate about and the professional requirements of ministry. In the words of Nouwen and Piper, when did ministry ever become professional?
Oh how I long for the summer when I can read what I want and write what I want. I already bought 4 books today to add to my summer reading list. Thanks Dave for telling me about the dollar book store.
