Comments on posts that turned into my post!
I feel silly commenting on Steve's post since we can literally spit on each other since our desks are so close......... buuuuuuut....., as I was commenting on his post, it became another post!
Our office is much like a mini theological center! Hours of ideas, opinions, hopes, dreams, and fears are exchanged through conversation. In reading through the Chapters on the Parables and reflecting on the countless hours of "Theo-logi-cizing" in the office, one conversation in particular ties a pretty Christmas bow on Bailey's writings. It was a conversation on POT! That's right Mary Jane - ganja - weed - 420 – bammer – BC bud – blunt – bomb – bone – boo – boo-yah – bubonic chronic – bud – buddha – burger – Cali – candle – cheeba – chiba – chief – chiefs – chino – choke – chronic – cigga-weed – cigweed – clickem – colitas – combustible herbage – crippy – cronick – dank – dirt weed – ditch weed – doja – dolja – doob – doober – doobie – dope – drat – draw – dro – dub – dube – Dutchie – endo – erve – fatty – fatty boom blatty – gange – ganja – ganje – giggle stick – gonj – grass – green – green bud – heim – herb – herbal refreshment – hippie lettuce – hog leg – hooter – hydro – indica – indo – j – jay – jib – joint – keef – kief – kill – kind bud – la la – left-handed cigarette – limbo – loud – Mary Jane – Mexican dirt weed – mighty mez – MJ – mota – Mr. J – nib – nugget – onion – paca lolo – pakaloco – pakalolo – pato – pot – purp – reefer – reggie – reggs – roach – schwag – shake – shwag – sinse – sinsemilla – skater – skunk weed – smoke – spliff – spliffy – sticky icky icky – sweet – tea – Thai stick – tical – toke – treats – trees – tunechi – tweed – wacky tobaccy – weed – whifty – woolies – zombie!
All these words describe marijuana! A plant grown, harvested, ground up and rolled into a piece of paper or pipe to smoke. TO INHALE the properties / chemicals compounds of the flowery bud. WHY? Why all the work? Why INHALE?
To numb our senses.
Numb the very senses God has given us to know Him and EXPERIENCE Him! Why would anyone want to numb those 5 intimately - romantic senses?
Let me quote Steve's post:
"The parables invite me to intuitively and emotionally identify with authentic life and vivid reality. Each parable like a unique affectionate kiss from the one whose gospel isn’t that he came to condemn the world but will not stop kissing it – wakes me from death slumber to joyful vigor."
The Parables awaken our senses to see, touch, taste, smell, and hear the Living God on His knees before us, arms extended offering us a gift. The gift of His son Jesus. Every day, every moment He blesses us with Himself. Why would anyone not want to experience that?
Merry Christmas! Keep your senses sharp to the Living God who can't stop Kissing you!
