Do you ever listen to The God Journey podcasts? These guys speak a lot of Truth, so if you ever get the chance give them a listen. I caught a recent episode while I was walking on the treadmill this morning. Brad Cummings was talking about how he was teaching his little girl how to snow ski, and comparing that to how Daddy wants us out of the ski harness and learning how to fly down the slopes of life untethered. Just like Father, Brad was always there with his little girl making sure she was safe, but he let her decide which turns to make. The institution seems to have a vested interest in keeping us in the harness well past the time it is needed. Just like Brad’s daughter was afraid at first, we’re made to be afraid of all the bad things out there that could befall us if we ski through life unharnessed. But Daddy isn’t afraid to let us fall in the snow sometimes, because that’s how we learn that we’ll be OK if we keep pressing in. Then we can all ski together, unharnessed, and we’ll never be satisfied with the tether again. Take a listen: Beyond the Harness
