ONBOARDING

Dear All of Us,

Imagine someone 

having coffee 

in the airport restaurant

waiting for their flight to be called

and the flight is just that - in flight?

That person is going nowhere fast.


A lot of things in life can be like that.

The wait is a waste.

We're stalled still.


Sure, there are times and things 

that do require waiting.

We have to wait

for the shift to end,

for the kids to graduate.

for the tomatoes to ripen.


We absolutely do not have to wait 

for real and robust wholeness, 

as in holiness, 

as in divine intimacy,

as in joyous community,

as in grace full discipleship,

as in Spirited justice doing,

as in vigorous regeneration

    of self, society and all creation,

            right now life in

        THE KINGDOM OF GOD

     

        "Thy kingdom come " 

          has & is coming,

            Matthew 6:19

            "I tell you, 

 now is the time of God's favor, 

 now is the day of salvation."

        2 Corinthians 6:2

"...the Kingdom of God 

is in your midst." 

        Luke 17:21

"Repent for the 

Kingdom of Heaven 

is at hand."

Mathew 4:17


The flight plan  

filed and followed is 

The Be-Altitudes,

The Sermon on the Heights.


Sad to see and say

too many Church people 

are stranded still in a

  not now, not yet 

    KINGDOM

  ONBOARDING

They are stuck 

trying to earn

reward miles for an 

after death take off and

missing the divine flight of 

       Right Now.


There's no earning to it

and no waiting for it.

There's only extraordinary

offer and immediacy.


The offer is for a

completely countercultural

freedom and flourishing, 

      an uplifting 

sky high and unending,

divine incorporation.

The acceptance is a

      Lived Yes

   to divinization

in a community of 

     adhesion 

to God, each other,

    all Creation. 

The ancients called it

       Theosis   


The air fare is accepting

the flow of God Good

        in us,

    through us 

    for others.

Active Onboarding


When we follow 

the flight pattern

we see a panorama of 

joyous good, 

things like;

- a lightness, a lite-ness,

  free from the drag of

  "gotta have" getting,

  ego defensiveness,

  Empire's anti-culture

  distracting us to death

 - a wondrous merger

        with the 

        Mystery

      that is God

 - Deeper and fuller

     togetherness

        with all 

    in our shared

    Creation Flight 

- a tender toughness

  resisting social injustices

- a pouring out of 

  self and means for

  The Common Good

- for real and felt

  spiritual community, 

  the sweet and sweaty of it.


 The heck with 

"not yet, not now"

   wasting still.

Our Flight Divine Delight

          is now

     ONBOARDING

            for all
