The day after! Ever have
a significant event in your life and the next day things seemed, back to normal. What happened to the fulfilling life of
yesterday? Most of life is lived in the
days after. Easter is much like most of
life. We celebrate it with great
sincerity and then Monday comes and has to be lived out. The artist *Chuck Close said, “Inspiration is
for amateurs, the rest of us just show up!”
This is good to remember today, the day after. The great news this Monday is that when
Christ followers show up in the world, Christ shows up.
“So
we are Christ's ambassadors; God is making his appeal through us. We speak for
Christ when we plead, "Come back to God!"”
*This
statement by Chuck Close is meaningful when you know that he first came to
prominence for his super realist abilities but was rendered a virtual quadriplegic
by illness and is now making some of his most profound work ever. Here are works done of the same subject pre and post illness.
