ECD Pilgrim

I have lived my entire life near either side of the Eastern Continental Divide. And, I am a pilgrim on a road that is narrow and not easy that leads to the Celestial City of God. On my journey, I attempt to live and apply the Gospel in this world that is not my home. These are some of my observations from a Biblical and Reformed perspective.

Celtic Proverbs
Woe is he who is indifferent to God’s bounty.

But only if we are afflicted with a kind of cosmic uneasiness, a curious suspicion that we cannot be whole until we come to terms with a transcendent reality at once germane and accessory to ourselves. To those who are content with their own sufficiency and who are loathe to venture beyond their own experience, such restlessness is seen as a psychological disturbance and immediately passed off as delusion. But that may not be the whole story; perhaps, just perhaps, it is not because there is no attributable cause but because the experiential mechanism fails to perceive it, much as the blind eye fails to perceive color or the deaf ear musical pitch.
