Greetings Dear Reader,
We opened this
thinking by considering baseball. The
act of hitting the ball is clear evidence of doing the impossible. There is other evidence that we do the impossible
every day.
When I set aside my
anger, preferences, or selfishness to show love to others, I am doing the
impossible. It is made possible because
of grace and love. When I am called out
on something I do wrong and respond in humility instead of pride, I am doing something
that is impossible for me to do alone.
When we follow
Christ faithfully, we make the impossible not only possible but probable. Love and grace crush the impossible that
allows others to change. A friend told
me last night how different I am over the last year. The observation was based on hours and hours
of conversation and interaction over real issues. The conclusion that people can change makes
the work worth it.
The thing we get to
be a part of that is the most impossible is the impact of our love on the lives
of others. We get to turn death into a
fighting chance to live. We get to see
others become their better selves. Relationships
can be restored. Families can heal.
Those we have written off can be written back on.
It only works when
we believe that the impossible is possible.
If the Father can redeem us, we become the impossible transformed to the
possible. Our lives become testaments to
the journey that reveals the possible every day. How we travel with others reveals the impossible
coming alive in us and being shared with others.
In this space, in
that 1/10 of a second when we believe and choose to act in love, we make it all
possible. That, Dear Reader, is where
life exists. It is in that moment when
we choose to believe, follow, and act. I
hope that you can embrace the depth of this reality long before I did. Life is so much richer when we see it this
way. There is still pain and
sorrow. The difference is that each
replication of that moment yields results that can last for eternity. That is the impossibility that we can all
make possible.
Wishing you joy in
the journey,
Aramis Thorn

Christ’s rule of the universe is like a homeowner. He liberally hands out new
and old things from his great treasure store.”
