I'm started a new 'project' as Maggi has called it, over at the hopeful_imagination blog. After our advent and lent blogs, I'm asking people to blog a scripture verse or story that is important to you. This is an idea I got from David Ford's The Shape of Living, where he writes:
... be alert for some key passages of the bible to inhabit in a special way. Hans Urs von Balthasar has said that often a saint's whole life can be seen as living out just one verse of scripture. One rich verse or story can be essential to our vocation, as we come back to it year after year, and find further dimensions to it. The great words, verses and passages of scripture and the liturgy are like houses which, as we study, pray, suffer and love, are made habitable with our own furnishings, pictures, meals and children ...'
So if you want to join in, let me know.
