I am having a new experience. It is the experience of planning events without stress. Last spring, when Tammi and I planned the overnight Prayer Vigil, I loved the whole experience. I was calm, joyful, excited, and peaceful, even when we hit obstacles or bumps. It was by far the most enjoyable event I've ever planned or hosted.
And that's what the Film Series at Evergreen has been like this week. We hit obstacles, there were concerns, I have been attentive to details and slightly worried about things going awry. But tonight, the first night, was great. People came! And were interested! And talked! And I'm so excited about it.
Paul says that God planned good works for us "to walk in" before any of us were ever born. I think this ease is due to the fact that I've finally found that path. And I'm walking in what God had planned for me. Not that it's effortless or painless or no work, just that there is such ease and peace and joy.
Now that I've experienced, I've decided that my job MUST include this for the vast majority of my responsibilities.

I'm glad you feel good, because I am completely freaking out.
The film series has been really amazing so far. It's been making me think a lot more about my role in all of this and is opening new doors of compassion in my heart. Awesomeness.
YAY! Then the series has accomplished its goal!
I thought of your film festival as I read an article in The New Yorker about the Indian Devadasi. They are actually just prisoners of sex work at this point in the Indian culture. Unfortunately, their parents who sell them into this work do so because of the money they need and from this false sense of "serving the god."
Satan is the "Great Twister." It's heartbreaking.
Hello Elaine's Mom.
Yes, you are right. The Devadasi are now equivalent to prostitutes... highly paid ones, at that. There was a time when the Devadasi were considered "all that and a bag of chips" for lack of a better explanation. These women were looked up upon because they were "married" to the dieties (I picture some woman married to a cow or a rooster or something like that).
Parts of the Indian culture (the parts that have been able to fight off modernism) still see this practice as a religious sacrifice of the family. Unfortunately, it's still prostitution.
Hi Kerry,
Yes, it's just prostitution, but it has this meaningless cover story of "god service" if you will. I think the only thing that makes Satan happier than prompting evil is to be able to wrap that evil in an idea of goodness. I'm sure he's also happy to see all the HIV resulting from his work.
Blessings on you.
