A Story to Remember

   


 There is a narrative in the Biblical text that I have been pondering. It is the narrative of the woman who anoints Jesus with an expensive perfume. Part of what holds my attention is the response of Christ.  Jesus says: "And truly, I say to you, wherever the gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will be told in memory of her." (Mar 14:9 ESV) Or when people would gather around to tell about the time of Christ amidst the stories of miracles, meals, speeches and prayers would be a story of a simple but costly act of love. A needed reminder for me in the chasing after adventure and meaning that what really matters are not heroics but simple, bold, costly acts of love from the heart.

About


What:

The Rusty Sage Brush is a blog that attempts to take life and experience it like a child full wonder, questions, curiosity and play (with a special emphasis on play): a metaphorical dancing in the rain. To this end there will be words and at times, even, sentences. These objects will be organized into stories, poems, lists, and essays.

All pictures and posts are original except where quotations and other obvious exemptions exist. Therefore, all rights/permissions belong to the author.

Who:

Currently, the voices are limited and do not have any critical, creative, or useful writing skills, but as this is being published on the internet the writer does feel a little overqualified. The person behind this blog is named James. He lives to write, chase sunsets, listen to the stories around him, fix old cars that nobody else wants, bake bread, and tell jokes that cause mass suffering but for those few seconds each day when he can be serious what he really wants is to help people find meaning, learn to play and approach each day with love.

When:

As of this time there is no determined schedule. But I do hope you enjoy the random postings I do make as I develop a more steady schedule.

Why:

The Rusty Sage Brush wants to be the metaphorical little boy stamping in a mud puddle introducing play into world. So, quite simply, because my shoes are not muddy enough yet and no one has said I have to go inside yet.

I hope you enjoy.

James
