Liquid

I am parched. I find myself thirsty for Something. Somewhere in the core of my being I have a longing that this world cannot satisfy. My thirst for Life has intensified over the past few years.

I am stained. I find myself rebelling against Something. Somewhere in the core of my being I have an illness that this world cannot cure. My decisions reek of selfishness.

I am excited. I find myself being drawn by Something. Somewhere in the core of my being I’ve experienced an injection of grace that’s not of this world. It continues to bring healing, forgiveness, joy, and freedom.

I am ricky. I am an undeserving, blessed man on a journey of transformation. I am an average guy who married my high school sweetheart (I love you Ambo!) who loves to have fun in life.

Ok…enough of the vague attempted poetry. The bottom line is I am a guy who is trying to follow Jesus with my life. The Something is actually Someone. Most of the time I fall flat on my face trying to live like Jesus. The truth is I really stink at trying to live like Jesus. My journey in life to this point has been a humbling experience of learning, unlearning, and relearning. I successfully gift-wrapped many…uh…let’s call them “projections” of God in my mind that have since been obliterated by Grace. He is bigger than the limits I place on Him. Liquid ThinkTank is simply a conversation space for learning, unlearning, and relearning. It’s a place for anyone on life’s journey seeking Something. It’s a place where we can ask, seek, and knock together.

Thirsty anyone?
