Acts 9:1-22
Conversion of Paul
“Saul” represents so many ‘religious’ people today. Theirs is the ‘only way’, hence the divisions and the religious wars. But when one experiences Jesus one’s whole view changes—we all are of one family, and love of neighbor is the central creed.
My own conversion has been ongoing, as I believe all are—I have moved from the religious, institutional phase, to one of seeing Jesus in all things, and in the marginzlized and oppressed. One of believing in just war, to one of complete non-violence.
Spent past two days just resting. People still in and out, but most of time alone.
Deo Gratis! Thanks be to God!
