The past five years have been marked by God messing with the punctuation in my life. Everywhere I think that I should have a boring old period, I find that there are loud, screaming exclamation marks, within them, words like WHY, WHEN, HOW, WHERE.
In other places, where there should be bold, underlined passages, I find them in regular, insignificant font.
Has the narrative been less or more interesting? I dare say that when God messes with the punctuation in our lives, the story becomes richer and it sure makes for a more interesting read.
Church … which I am a part of and which I am trying to (once again) find my “place” in, has been for the most part following the standard rules of punctuation … no run-on sentences, not italics, not bold font. And, the narrative has proven to be B-O-R-I-N-G!
What would happen if we threw out the rules that we have learned and started using the puncutation that Jesus used here on HIS short time with us … you know, YELLING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! at the money lenders and then using a small, simple, unassuming font when he ate amongst the sinners?
The rules of punctuation can be taxing, limiting and well, just plain, uninteresting …
Surprise Me GOD ????????????????????????????????????????
Change the rules of punctuation in my life.
