Brother Richard(Christian Crusaders)and I came upon this trailer while checking out this year's sights on main during the Blackhills Motorcyle Rally(Sturgis). It may not seem as ironic to some as it does to me, but if this trailer were hauling my sins it would be much fuller. Having just shared lunch with the upper great plains theological group(offshoot of the recently demised ELCA)it puts me in mind of our lives and how we live them. To live wholely and holy we must die unto ourselves and our sins. That does not mean that the sin is not a part of us, it will always be until we escape from this earthly venue. I guess that we don't think about this stuff a lot, and that is okay, 'cause if we really stop to think about it we have to change. Change is something that does not come easily to most of us, me inparticular, but it happens. That's like that fairly new addage #$@&% happens! Please, if you are reading and thinking, do not let it be too late for you. There is another road, one that is much smoother and less burdensome. In Christ's Love, Preacher.
