  • The Station-keep


    Life is a journey, they say. A journey begins someplace, ends someplace, and along the way passes through still other places. Some of those other places may be “stations,” stopping places, or starting places, on the continuing journey.

    The 29th Street Station is about the journeys we undertake and the meanings we make, from origin to destination, and back again. The station-keep (a.k.a. author) observes the comings and goings even while on her own journey of meaning-making.

It just hit me

Posted on April 21, 2010 by 29thstreetstation

Have you noticed how we can drive past the same house every day for years, and not be able to describe something obvious about it; for instance, how many windows face the street?
I just noticed something in John 6. Obviously it has been there for eons, only I never noticed this window to the heart that beats at the center of the universe.

Jesus says “anyone who comes to me I will never drive away.” Anyone. ANYone AnyONE. Never. NEVER. Never-ever.

How then dare we consider that we have the right to assess who is or is not worthy to enter the presence of the Lord, to stand before his altar? Anyone who comes will never be sent away. You can hang on to that as if your life depended on it. Your life does.
