"by the way" makes "Top 50" blogs list

Welcome!  Bread for your Journey is a posting tool that has been used by by the way  community. 

On Nov. 8, 2010, theologydegreesonline listed both this blog and "by the way" community's blog in their "Top 50 Lutheran Blogs".  If you have come here because of that recommendation (or for any other random reason!) , please check out  by the way's blog .  We are an open community talking about what's going on in the world, in our lives, and what may be going on in the heart of God. 

No matter where you are in your journey, you will find welcome, respect, and insightful conversation with "by the way". 

You can find us on facebook and twitter (btwnh) as well.

Peace to you,

High on Glory / Googling God

Luke 9:28-36          

28-31About eight days after saying this, he climbed the mountain to pray, taking Peter, John, and James along. While he was in prayer, the appearance of his face changed and his clothes became blinding white. At once two men were there talking with him. They turned out to be Moses and Elijah—and what a glorious appearance they made! They talked over his exodus, the one Jesus was about to complete in Jerusalem.

32-33Meanwhile, Peter and those with him were slumped over in sleep. When they came to, rubbing their eyes, they saw Jesus in his glory and the two men standing with him. When Moses and Elijah had left, Peter said to Jesus, "Master, this is a great moment! Let's build three memorials: one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah." He blurted this out without thinking.

34-35While he was babbling on like this, a light-radiant cloud enveloped them. As they found themselves buried in the cloud, they became deeply aware of God. Then there was a voice out of the cloud: "This is my Son, the Chosen! Listen to him."

36When the sound of the voice died away, they saw Jesus there alone. They were speechless. And they continued speechless, said not one thing to anyone during those days of what they had seen.

Signs and Wonders
 
Signs and wonders lead the dancing from the heart God frees from fear:

wings of angels greet the maiden, and God finds a dwelling here;
boldly may we lift our hands, bow the head, and voice Amen;
thus does glory shine at midnight: open hearts invite the starlight…

Cast aside all fear and hiding; hand in hand we dance the round.
God is with us, Christ, abiding, and the Spirit’s gifts abound.
Called by God to holiness, let us boldly serve and bless;
and to hearts that sigh and hunger
may our lives dance signs and wonders.
