Perfect. Without blemish. Innocent. Slaughtered.</p> <p>A perfect animal is impossible for a human to create. My folks have just had to wait and see what was born-would it have a defect? Would the mother reject it? To a person of the ancient world, the analogy of God sending a perfect lamb was much more meaningful and easier to be amazed by. Our modern culture is so far removed from animals in general that we have no grasp of the amount of work it takes to nourish and tend to a sheep. The shepherd is constantly watching the flock; my parents know their movements and the differences between their sheep. </p> <p>So when Christ is spoken of as perfect, it is meant to be taken as a symbol of great fate. Only God can create  perfect lamb. We have nothing to do with this.</p> <p>He is so valuable and special-a sight to behold, rare and amazing. Now take that precious, tender lamb and lead him to receive all the wicked and base moments of humanity. He will not resist as he stumbles under the weight of every abuser, murderer and thief-every one of us. It is an act of complete contradiction. When I feel injustice my throat gets hot with words of anger and I sense this indignation inside of me when I think of the Crucifixion.</p> <p>Tear that lamb to shreds and make him stare into every moment of evil this world has made. </p> <p>And he does. He pays for it. He is obedient and submissive. Not fighting his handlers. He cries out and dies. </p> <p>Looking to Good Friday. Looking through the dark to the light promised. Straining eyes and minds, praying for it to dawn Resurrection.</p>http://amyfitzpatrick.com/post/20464047325http://amyfitzpatrick.com/post/20464047325Wed, 04 Apr 2012 08:46:19 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1q0cgrzm51qzwmsso2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1q0cgrzm51qzwmsso1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://freecabinporn.com/post/20196141928/cottage-on-cape-cod-ma-submitted-by-nic-wolff" target="_blank">cabinporn</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Cottage on <strong>Cape Cod, MA</strong>.

Well, the world turned for thousands of years before any of us showed up; it will continue turning long after we’ve gone, short of the parousia; and even if you, me, or the Christian next door are tonight hit by an asteroid, kidnapped by aliens, or sucked down the bathroom plughole, very little will actually change; even our loved ones will somehow find a way to carry on without us. We really are not that important. So let’s drop the pious prayers which translate roughly as `Lord, how can a special guy/gal like myself help you out some?’ and pray rather that the Lord will grow his kingdom despite our continual screw ups, that he will keep us from knocking over the furniture, and that, when all is said and done, somehow, by God’s grace, we will finish well despite our best efforts to the contrary.”<br/><br/> - <em><p>-Carl Trueman</p> <p>( Lately I have been thinking the same thing. As I have tried to fix issues in my health with a restrictive diet, I have become so self-absorbed. I think obsessively about all my choices and decisions; I am so acutely aquatinted with the minutia of my body and mind that I often don’t have the space to think of anyone else. I need God more than I need a diet plan.)</p></em>http://amyfitzpatrick.com/post/15412944186http://amyfitzpatrick.com/post/15412944186Fri, 06 Jan 2012 16:15:06 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxcv43JkuV1qzokwto1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://amyfitzpatrick.com/post/15377633642http://amyfitzpatrick.com/post/15377633642Thu, 05 Jan 2012 21:33:39 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxcsriPtuY1qzokwto1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://amyfitzpatrick.com/post/15374731395http://amyfitzpatrick.com/post/15374731395Thu, 05 Jan 2012 20:42:54 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxcsqyC4CA1qzokwto1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://amyfitzpatrick.com/post/15374712943http://amyfitzpatrick.com/post/15374712943Thu, 05 Jan 2012 20:42:34 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lwva0mmkID1qzokwto1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>DREAM.HOUSE.</p>http://amyfitzpatrick.com/post/14862219359http://amyfitzpatrick.com/post/14862219359Tue, 27 Dec 2011 09:38:46 -0500
