Blind Blogging

Blogging - typing stuff that is available for all to see, but in all probability, no one ever will. A way to put your thoughts in words and your words on a screen. Seeking an audience without ever trying. Making a speech to an empty room without worrying about combing your hair.

Blinded by Grace - exactly what happened to Saul while on a journey to arrest Jews who chose to follow Christ. Many of these Messiah-followers were probably elated to hear that Saul was providently stopped while en route. At last, justice from God against those picking on the new Jewish sect. Undoubtedly, many were disappointed that Saul's punishment was only a 3 day blindness. Couldn't God have cut out a tongue or lopped off a leg or something more permanent?

Grace - God's preferred method of giving those who mess up another chance. Grace is a reminder of how awesome God is. After all, we can't earn/buy/steal/ grace ourselves. It only comes from God. Grace lets you see when you're blind, let's you talk when you've poisoned your words with trash, let's you be loved when you've hurt others, and let's you breathe when you deserve to die.

Prayer - May the grace of God bless anyone who happens to stumble on these words and needs another chance. It's not fun being blind, but if you've been blinded for a reason, then grace brings hope. And hope always has a way of seeing even when you can't see.
