Today I feel like a new person. A new Christian. I feel like the world around is a magical unknown place I have yet to experience.

I have been struggling under this cloud of suffering ever since I decided to go to Seminary (which I am no longer doing).

Yet, in the past three days God has erupted his love into my life, and I'm not fighting it anymore.

But right now, Today, I just experienced an amazing truth. I was watching the Nooma video Breathe. And in it Rob Bell mentions that the word for spirit and breath are the same. The same word. Did God not breath in us through Adam? He sent down his spirit on Pentecost? Could it not be that God sent down his breath, and since we cannot live without breath we live only because God breathed his spirit into us? Some Raabi's (see video) have said that the name of God is unpronouncable because it is the sound of breathing. Do we praise God by saying his name with the breath He gave us?

Our God dwells in us, His Holy Spirit, His Holy Breath. Lord breath in me!
