Have Mercy for Lives that are shattered
cast with hard doctrine and creed
If it's only the idols that mattered
Plaster would be all they need

David Wilcox...from the song Cast Off

The entire Song Cast Off resonates with me immensely! I love it! I am ripping off hard doctrine and creed in my life. Ripping off "Christianese" theology.......The ugly smelly fraying thing has not served me well. Has crippled me.....I've kept it on longer than I ever needed it. Atrophy set in, now the painful physical therapy and retraining comes.....discovering TRUTH. Truth about me, and truth about God's love, and truth about what HE says to me and about me. Its so easy to fall into the traps and cliche's.....even when I think I am aware of them....I get sucked in......

Don't know what my therapy will look like. Don't know how long it will take.....Don't give a darn....just know its gonna happen. Its gonna hurt...but its gonna make me stronger for sure....
