Greetings Dear Reader,
One may wonder what All Saints Day has to do with
rebellion. It is simple. Our history is one of rebellion against the
good things that the Father wishes for us.
Whether it is outright denial of his existence or treating those who
disagree with us with scorn we all rebel in some way.
Rebellion is the rejection or resistance of authority,
control, or convention. It is not always
wrong to question these things. It is
always wrong rebel against that which is good.
We do this out of fear or greed.
We want what we want when we want it.
The path of peace does not include rebellion. The journey home is from what our rebellion
created. All that has been lost to us is
because of our choice to rebel against the Father. The path home is the journey of faith and
redemption.
All Saints Day is the day to remember all those who are on
this journey of faith. Those who have
reached the end of rebellion and accepted following in faith are those we
celebrate. We follow Christ toward that
undiscovered country where the rebellion has been healed and good has been restored.
I realize that this sounds a little mystical or
fantastic. I know that not all of you
agree with me. My intention here is to
honor all those who share my journey. I
wish to thank those who have gone before me and marked the path. I am a bit jealous of those who have already
made it home. I cherish the company of
those who travel with me now. We do not
always agree but when we care for each other the journey is richer. Lastly, I hope to leave the path a little
smoother for those who follow.
To all the saints who make the journey, I am thankful that
we have begun to mend our rebellious ways.
Thank you for your companionship along the way.
Wishing you joy in the journey,
Aramis Thorn

who has become a disciple of Christ’s rule of the universe is like a home
owner. He liberally hands out new and old things from his great treasure
store.”
