Holy Cross Day

Today I will practice being foolish. It is the day the church sets apart as Holy Cross Day....

I have been up for a couple of hours already...I have looked at the news headlines...the weather report...and checked in with my online banking. I have read some e-mails... I have had enough of that wisdom of the world already.

The world offers me information, perhaps... an indication of what is being offered (or what I am up against) for today.... That information may be accurate for a while...but all of it can change, literally, in a heartbeat!

On the other hand...the abiding truths that are showered upon me through Christ will endure.

It doesn't matter, really that the world sees all of this "cross stuff" as irrelevant ... even foolish. This foolishness assures new life every moment. When I practice being a Cross-centered fool this new life resonates with eternal purpose.

When I live according to the wisdom of the world, the result is, quite honestly, temporary.

If somebody calls me a fool today, I will take it as an indication that I am actually on the right track!
