GOD SENSE

       HELLO!

So, have you noticed

that I've been a 

good little blog boy lately?

Hey, I've been keeping 

most postings to

six/seven hundred words,

a range closer to an article in

Readers Digest 

than The Atlantic.

(Yah. I realizes there's also 

a qualitative correspondence!!

As Tweety Bird used to say,

"One does what one can!") 

Well, this week 

I got carried away 

and I'm asking you 

to come away with me.

Even though it's not Lent, 

please just offer it up.

There's a lot packed into 

this posting - Creation, 

matter and spirit,

our God Good senses.

Please consider taking 

all this in reflective parts.

So here goes!

Hope you'll come on along.

Much love, the God kind,

         John Frank

PS

    Oh yes!

    Please don't let the lead-in 

    of this posting run you off. 

    Good, as in God,

    blessings follow. 

           ******

Dear All of Us,

Whatever was God thinking?

I mean, creating taste buds 

eager for a good wine, 

the whole deal with sexual 

attraction and satisfaction, 

legs loving 

to dance up a storm,

skin luxuriating between

smooth percale sheets, 

hair just waiting to be styled,

a voice energetic

in song and conversation,

all ears for what's going on,

aromatics announcing dinner,

an eye for beauty.

What in the world 

was God thinking?

It's all 

so sensual

so physical, 

so fleshy,

so unspiritual.

After all, 

if we want 

to be holy, 

if we are 

serious/sober

about living a solid

spiritual life,

well, we need 

to sacrifice, 

to be austere, 

to mortify the senses,

to discipline the flesh,

to deny pleasure.

Forget cards, concerts,

chocolate cake,

going fishing 

or to the movies.

Too earthy, too material.

Well, if you're still there, 

let me hasten to note that

long has the Church, 

The Body of Christ,

been infected 

with sad such,

a debilitating virus:

     We can't be holy and

     be earthy-happy-human 

              about it

                  or

     To be holy we need to 

     beat up on our body,

     to shut down the senses

     as much as possible

     and not mess with matter 

     anymore than just

     enough to stay alive.

Well, God is about 

as holy whole as it gets.

And God had a blast

at our blast off

and seems intent 

on ever expanding it 

as one heck of 

a cosmic party.

We call it Creation.

The Bible says at the get go:

"God saw all that he had made, 

 and it was very good."

         Genesis 1:31

Over the ages to our just now

God is joyously busy 

expanding the party,

whooping it up -

taste buds, sex, legs, 

touch that is  

percale appreciative,

seascapes, 

pasta dinners,

Chinese Checkers, 

  AII THAT IS

 

From early on and still,

some sad sack sorts

soured on the 

matter of matter.

Said it was base, 

was inferior, even evil,

something to escape as 

fast and completely 

as possible

so we could attain 

some sort of

spiritual heights

- whatever that means.

They are soul sick and sadly 

they sicken so many souls,

    - party poopers -

and it's God's Party 

they negate and decline.

We gotta watch out for them, 

not let them "dis" 

God Good Matter,

try to find a way to tickle them

tightness free.

   God is Spirit.

That Spirit is Love. 

       And as

Teilhard de Chardin

puts it so simple clear,

  Love is the energy 

  of the universe.

(and I'll bet you 

of a different 

beyond/within

and unending

that we can't 

even imaging)

Spirit presents 

in all manner much, 

mystical wonder 

to wondrous 

mountain majesties.

Matter is clearly high on 

God's list of favorites.

There's so much of it.

That's what's 

really and happily  

the matter with Creation.

It's God happening 

in uncountable

forms and fashions. 

All that is

is a particular 

presence of God.

Our senses are 

divine doorways 

to just that, 

the divine presence.

They usher us into 

the sacred sanctuary 

of beauty and union.

They are a prime way 

that God meets us

    making for 

matter/mystical 

   ONENESS:

a great cup of coffee,

those percale sheets,

a Verdi opera,

reading scripture,

the salt sent of the sea

         taste  

         touch 

         hear 

         see 

         smell

     GOD SENSE

Speaking of matter,

our spiritual lives 

are a matter of

showing up where God 

has already shown up

and is waiting for us

no matter the manner

- spirit and matter -

          and 

mixing it up big time, 

letting God connect,

embrace, juice us.

It's as simple and 

simply wonderous as

playing with the kids,

biking through 

the forest,

having a beer 

with a friend,

reading a good novel,

cooking supper at 

the homeless shelter, 

the abundance at

the farmers' market. 

a Hymn Sing,

    one with

   any and all 

         of 

   God's Good 

     Creation 

By the way.

We don't need 

to create suffering

for a real spiritual life.

No hair shirts, 

sleeping on 

wooden floors, 

bread and water 

for a week 

are necessary.

  Suffering 

 shows up 

 on its own.

   That's 

where and when 

we deal with it

in unity with 

Jesus the Christ.

We suffer evil

in redeeming good.

As for sacrifice, 

we don't need 

to give up 

candy for Lent.

We need to 

reverence and relish 

candy and every other 

presence/gift of God.

So we don't stuff 

ourselves sick with candy.

We don't misuse/mistreat 

anyone or anything 

in all Creation.

That's our sacrifice

Rather, we "Do God",

have a meet up with God 

delighting in all Creation:

seeing those

majestic mountains, 

lstening, feeling,

a concert with The Boss,

hand to hoe

working a garden,

making love,

sharing our candy 

and everything else 

with those without,

That's the

    SACRIFICE

"MAKING WHOLE"

- (L)  sacra = holy

                    whole

   (L)  facere = to do, 

                    to make

 

 That's the

      DISCIPLINE

  "BEING DISCIPLES"

   (L) disciplina

                     training

                     learning

of the spiritual life.

It's not self-chosen,

    (us in control)

not a severe, sober, 

austere, disengaging,

denying and escaping 

how God is present 

and waiting for us

in things created.

Such would amount to

rejecting God,

God materialized in 

all those God Gifts,

and us not connecting 

in five God given 

sense modes. 

We come alive letting 

matter and senses

be places and ways of

grace upon grace, 

  Soulful Living

 God Connected

There is, though, 

more than a fly 

in the ointment. 

We and others 

have abused ourselves, 

others, society, nature, 

our whole environment.

We get hurt and we hurt.

Jesus is among us

to straighten and heal.

We join him in 

redeeming the wasted, 

the violated, as 

the Love that is God 

flows up and 

forth from us

in practical,

helping ways.

There are lots of 

crisscrosses to carry.

We want to bare them 

all the way to

holy wholeness.

We refuse to miss 

the point of 

God "mattering".

As a matter of fact we

"Do God" way better

than wasting ourselves 

denigrating things like

playing cards, 

having a party,

or by throwing out 

those percale sheets.

What in the world 

was God thinking,

what in the world

is God doing?

Well, and so well is it,

    God is busy 

     mattering, 

      making

    GOD GOOD

    GOD MATTERS

    GOD GOOD SENSE

     

We see God

We hear God

   in the liveliness

   in the energy 

   all about

 We touch, taste 

 and sense God

    in God Love

    materialized.

That's what matters.

May it matter and

make sense to us.

It does for God,

   GOD SENSE

LIVING IT UP

   

   Dear All of Us,

     Come on!

   Let's fasten

  our seat belts

        and

   try a touch

         of

    Fantasy Fun

  Here goes!

Our never met,

nor ever known, 

common cousin

five times removed

is skink'n wealthy.

He is a quirky recluse

living in a 

super spectacular, 

outlandishly

high tech villa

high in the Andes.

He recently had 

a delivery 

of one of those 

new fangled

      AI Gizmos

and he traced us all down.

Now, he's big into both  

surprises and generosity.

So, look in your 

mailbox,

ok your email,

for a special delivery notice.

By supper tonight,

in your favorite color,

in your driveway,

will be the most

outstandingly crafted,

quality controlled,

exquisitely engineered, 

absolutely newest, hottest, 

Twin Torgue,

789 horse power, 

         V8

   Lamborghini.

        AND

in your bank account 

will be $500,000

for gas and insurance.

The absolutely only thing 

to do is hop in 

and go like hell.

Leaving it on the driveway

for fear of getting a dent in it

is sheer stupid.

OK, back down to earth 

about lifting up

heavenly things,

and out pacing 

any Lamborghini.

We human beings are

divinely created and crafted.

The genius, intricacy, potential

of us leaves a Lamborghini 

          in the dust 

and any amount of money 

          worthless.

The only thing to do is

hop into full torque living 

and go like heaven!

Sitting still for 

fear of anything 

is sheer stupid.

We are given 

      US

to go full tilt at 

 LIVING IT UP

Long ago 

there was a

deeply wise Bishop 

and Doctor of the Church

- Saint Irenaeus - 

He put us right,

said it simple straight:

  

  "The glory of God 

    is a human being 

    fully alive."

       WOW!  

What gets God 

going and glowing 

is us doing just that!

The HOT that is GOD

fires up, flames forth,

glows baby, glows

through us fully 

LIVING IT UP

We're created to 

   GOD GLOW

to let light shine 

through every 

bit and brilliance 

      of us.

No body shaming allowed.

No self-doubting permitted.

No bunker hiding possible.

No inferiority complexes.

We are all more than 

      life ready 

in our unique customizing.

So go glow we do.

Extroverts dizzy dance life.

Introverts slow waltz it.

Talents, traits, 

gifts, graces, 

all ignited, ablaze  

in their fullness.

It's Glorious.

We tend to think 

that we give glory 

     to God.

Actually, it's dual deal.

God radiates out 

from our center.

        It's 

        US

   Living It Up

It's God Glorious.

In our Fun Fantasy

that Lamborghini

is valued around 

    $350,000

We are priceless:

" I thank you, High God -

  you're breathtaking!

  Body and soul, 

  I am marvelously made!

  I worship in adoration -

  what a creation!"

       Psalm 139: 14

       The Message

 "God spoke:

  'Let us make

  human beings 

  in our image, 

  make them 

  reflecting 

  our nature.'"

      Genesis 1: 26

       The Message

 "reflecting" God's Nature.

     Awesome glorious!

Talk about 

exquisite engineering.

What quality control.

That eight cylinder

Lamborghini

wouldn't dream

of firing

on a cylinder or two.

Nor should we.  

The denizens of 

      foul up

dictate only select sorts

are road worth in life, 

permitted in the 

fast lane.

They're driving backward 

on a detour.

We can't let them 

slow us down 

or misdirect us.

We're too busy 

zipping along

Route Real

Living It Up

We're comfortable 

in our own skin.

It's God Given.

It's how God wants 

to happen in us, 

through us,

Glow Glorious 

      in us.

That's awesome 

     sacred.

We fire on every 

God Given 

ability, talent,

shape, tone,

  particular,

     of us

     as is, 

as God Given, 

as God Glowing 

as we are

Living It Up.

HERE AND THERE

 

Dear All of Us,

Bless the Brits.

Such a dear people.

Magnificent cathedrals,

Shakespear to

passionate football.

Right about so much,

except driving on the 

wrong side of the road

    (just joshing)

Often understated.

Clipped and crisp 

in expression:

     "There, There,"

       for comforting.

      "Here Here!" 

       for affirmation.

Those two expression 

applied variously, 

bespeak for

the Brits and 

all the rest of us,

how we are

are victims of 

"There There"

overwhelming our

 "Here Here."

People are in pain,

scared, depressed.

The media drops 

   all the world 

         out    

       THERE

   on us in our 

       HERE

It is this an

incessant flood 

of what's going on" there"

raining down on us "here."

It's a tsunami of

information, opinion, 

persuasion, propaganda, 

trivia, fact and falsification.

Our heads and hearts 

are swamped.

We just don't know how 

to float our boat in it all.

The media just now 

is like a herd  

young stallions,

unbroken,

powerful, promising, 

sleek and fast, 

difficult and dangerous.

The horse breeders 

let them run uncontrolled.

They, too, are 

wild and unregulated

as they rake in fortunes

letting loose this stampede 

of worldwide there 

all over us in our right here.

Two metaphors 

for media too much.

It dehumanizes.

It debilitates.

It depresses.

Our spiritual lives 

are stillness deprive, 

souls and psyches 

whipped wide wild.

We need to live the way 

God fashioned us.

We do not and 

we cannot live 

all over the world,

and be responsive

to all that happens 

       THERE

  We are located 

    and limited.

 We thrive in our    

        HERE

We can even move 

to another here,

but we need a here.

Let's really 

see and say it -

we can't live or

cope with every there.

Everywhere is nowhere.

We do well to know 

there are lots 

of "here's" out

    THERE

    But we 

need to heed 

that we are 

structured, 

for living in our 

     HERE

our hometown, 

in our version of

 "Home, home

  on the range,"

 in our

 "Home Sweet Home,"

  in our homeland 

  at our address right

        HERE

Otherwise, 

things go wacky wrong.

And they have.

We do not need to know 

that there was 

a shooting and deaths

at a birthday party 

there in Louisville

last week unless 

Louisville is our here.

We are not structured 

to hear and process 

     nonstop 

"news and views"

 about too much 

 from too many

 about all sorts of

    THERE 

  geographic

  ideological

  ethnic

  religious

  political

  social

  cultural

When blitzed

we cave in 

or strike out.

Corporations, 

politicians, 

pundits,

propagandists, 

advertisers, 

join in causing 

this cultural cascade 

and its conflicts

- and discernably  

       not with 

   the highest of 

       motives.

Let's sharpen the pencil.

There are lots of 

    Here and There

in God's Good Creation:

    great diversity

    of location,

      of manner and mode of life,

    of culture and custom,

    of political and spiritual persuasion.

There are lots 

     of right on real people,

     of wrong and wronging people,

     of principled conservatives 

        and liberals.

     of hard-hearted, 

     block headed conservatives

     and opiniated air head liberals.

Whether we accept it or not, 

that's how it is.

We need to know that.

We do not need to know 

all about all of that

all the time.

If we try we short out,

spin out.

All this in no way means

we are to bury our heads 

in the sand and

bunker our hearts

in vaults of insensitive isolation.

We need to know and care

about our world oneness.

It gets debilitating when 

our attention and 

outlay of concern 

are unfiltered,

obsessive and constant. 

Our spiritual lives 

suffer to stifle.

Overwhelmed by 

what's going on

   worldwide

and in every diverse

nook and cranny

and happening 

of our nation,

we fail to be 

resident and vigorous 

in our right now and

        HERE

and that is where 

we locate to live

God Good Life. 

        

         Again, 

everywhere is nowhere.

         In the 

wisdom and graciousness

         of God 

   we are invited to 

       come alive

          love  

        enliven 

         HERE 

A new and necessary 

spiritual discipline 

is to refuse the addition

to distraction that is

  Media Madness.

We have lots of good 

     to be and do.

It's diabolical to be 

drawn off, distracted,

      depressed,

psychically neutered

out of it, to be

missing in the action

right here and now.

    Let's "Here it."

     

      We bloom 

where we are planted

and that is exactly right

     "HERE HERE!"

          ******

                                                 POSTSCRIPT

                This week's blog about HERE AND THERE, about Media Madness,

                was completed Saturday afternoon, July 13, 2024.

                Late that afternoon there was a horrendous shooting in Butler, PA

                at a Trump For President Rally. A bystander was killed, two others were 

                critically wounded. The shooter was killed. Former President Tramp

                was shot in the ear, an inch or so from a most likely death.

                That tragedy THERE is something that we in our HERE  

                certainly need the media to report - factually, clearly, completely, 

                not incessantly, sensationally, nor politically. 

                We in our HERE cannot do much about the anger, vitriol and violence 

                in all the THERE'S of our nation and world

                                                    EXCEPT

                in our HERE we can recommit to practical love of each other, 

                tolerance and acceptance of different people and persuasions,

                and non-violent responses to hurt and frustration. Each of us is a cell 

                in The Body Politic across the THERE of our nation and world. 

                Each can make a difference for a peaceable whole.                   

                                                                

                                                      We 

                                                     HERE 

                                                hear and heed 

                                                      Jesus

                           - " Those who draw the sword die by the sword."

                                                 Matthew 26:52

                          - "Peace I leave you, my peace I give you."

                                                   John 14:27

                          - "I say to you, love your enemies, bless them that curse you, 

                             do good to them that hate you, and pray for them 

                             that despitefully use you, and persecute you."

                                                     Matthew 5: 43-44

JUST KIDDING

Dear All of Us,

"Hey, Come on!

 I'm just kidding."

Real Life Translations:

   "Don't take it seriously."

   "Nothing of consequence."

        JUST KIDDING

           around

      

          Kidding     

   Well, we like kids,

            but

they don't figure big in 

our social calculations 

of success and count

until and less

they are competent, 

competitive achievers.

That's when they are 

of consequence and 

to be taken seriously,

no kidding about it!

That's the current 

culture curve.

That's essentially 

how the disciples

felt when they 

were trying 

to shoo the kids 

away from Jesus.

Kids don't qualify 

for prime time.

Oh Yah?

   But Jesus called 

   the children to him 

   and said,

  "Let the little children

   come to me, and

   do not hinder them,

   for the kingdom of God 

   belongs to such as these. 

   I tell you the truth, 

   anyone who 

   will not receive 

   the kingdom of God 

   like a little child

   will never enter it."

   Luke 18: 16- 17

Is Jesus just being 

a bit poetic here,

a touch of soothing

       Hallmark

     kid cute stuff

     but decidedly

   JUST KIDDING? 

What's he talking about?

His talk just isn't  

in the language of

Wall Street, 

Madison Avenue,

The World Bank,

politics,

clergy advancement,

military ranking,

Walmart,

sports,

entertainments.

Definitely not in 

the curriculum at 

The Harvard School 

of Business.

That's for sure!

That's because 

all those are 

articulations,

dialects of 

    Empire.

Jesus speaks an

altogether different

      life lingo.

Jesus invites us to 

take a pass on Empire.

Sure, we have to 

live and work 

in the midst of it -

in it but not of it.

Jesus invites us into 

  Kingdom of God 

     Realm Real

       in our 

   here and now 

    our forever

And yes, Jesus is

 JUST KIDDING

The only way in 

is the way of kids

- simple, straightforward,

  unqualified, wholehearted 

  receiving of a good:

"I tell you the truth,

 anyone who will 

 not receive the 

 kingdom of God

 like a little child

 will never enter it."

  It's pure gift.

  All it takes is 

  a lived yes,

  indeed, 

  a lively yes

  just like kids.

You know what?

This is so simple  

I'm having 

a hard time 

trying to say it.

Hey, I'm going 

to take a brake. 

Be back!

          ******

   GONE SWIMMING

          ******

OK, I'm back on

the blog job.

Talk about 

"kidding" around.

I got to our pool.

There was a dad 

and his kids already

in the water.

They were having 

one uproarious,

heaven of a good time,

the kids squealing 

in delight 

as their dad 

flipped them, 

swirled them, 

squirted them,

danced them around.

Dad was delighted 

in delighting.

No letup or 

slow down to it.

Sheer glee all round.

          THAT'S

   what receiving the

     kingdom of God 

      like a child is.

         ACCEPT

         ALL IN

    totally engaged 

    as dad delights.

And if things tangle up, 

       God Dad 

straightens them out.

Now, here's 

the really hard part.

The single most 

terrible sin the

  Establishment Church

has ever committed is 

to have watered down, 

papered over,

dumbed up,

what it takes 

to get life right,

to get in on the 

Kingdom of God.

It complicated, 

compromised  

entrance 

to kingdom life 

at the pass.

The Establishment 

       Church, 

bought into Empire, 

it's ways and deceits,

established itself 

as absolutely necessary, 

as the only key into

 The Kingdom of God,

clergy at the controls.

Rules, routines, rituals,

doctrines, dogmas, 

disciplines, hierarchies,

to choke the soul.

So, lots of folks took a look,

didn't see much heaven 

in it all, said

     "The hell with it" 

        and bailed. 

        See the 

damnable damage done.

Others were seduced 

into life-long struggling,

trying to qualify,

wrack up the points, 

and be able 

to get a ticket 

to the Kingdom 

     Hereafter

      through

Church Incorporated.

See the perversion, 

the distraction from God.

The Establishment Church

has either run people off,

or duped the majority 

who stick around 

into settling for 

a surface religiosity

 - believe these things,

 - observe the rules and regulations

 - show up for the required rituals

 - avoid sin, most especially

   cooking the books at work,

   having sex outside of marriage,

   loosing your temper or fibbing

 - for the eager beavers, 

   work hard at the spiritual disciples,

   wrack up even more points

   getting holy

   so you can go first class

   to the kingdom of Hereafter.

   

A lot of chasing the wrong rabbit.

By contrast, when we simply,

like a child invited 

to a birthday party, 

accept the gift of 

kingdom life,

we joyously join in

going full court 

living the Gospel

together in community. 

Our valve system, lifestyle,

finances, family and social life,

practical commitment 

to justice for the earth 

and all her people

are God's Love Lived 

at our address.

Please know there is 

a vast void between 

    The Church 

          and 

The Establishment 

        Church

My experience pastoring

over fifty-five years

in two denominations,

in parishes, teaching, 

administration,

clergy mentoring, 

spiritual companioning, 

retreats and writing

has shown me that 

denominations, 

churches,

religious institutions

are all a mix of 

       The Church

        and sadly

The Establishment Church

It's critical to know that 

and the degree of that.

I hear Richar Rohr on this.

He counsels living on 

the edge of the inside.

Often that's the best 

we can find and do.

Whatever our 

ecclesial address,

we can do the Jesus

   JUST KIDDING

  Jesus revealed that

      Kingdom Life   

             is 

     God in the pool

inviting us to come on in,

       be loved alive.

Jesus lived and taught

     Kingdom Life

He modeled it for us.

His Spirit 

energizes us for it.

We just need 

to jump in. 

Just for the record, the 

Establishment Church

has done much good. 

Horribly, though,

it tried to take 

God's place. 

It got in God's way 

and our way in God.

Meister Eckart 

nailed the simple 

in a simple way:

    "All God wants 

     of you 

     is to get out 

     of the way 

     and let God 

     be God in you."

That goes for 

each of us, 

all of us 

     The Church

   "The Gathered"

around dad in the pool.

Come on!

Let's head for the pool.

I mean that in

the best sense of

keeping it simple, 

like the little ones 

Jesus holds 

before us by his
