Ordinary Life

If Jesus is God, it seems that he came into a very ordinary existence.  Small village.  Blue collar work.  Lots of routine.  Maybe the ordinary is where we are supposed to encounter Love?  Maybe God likes the ordinary.  So then the ordinary is also the extraordinary.  I think the Buddha said that.  I don't have to try so hard to make myself special or fantasize specialness in order to encounter love.  I need not show off.  If the everyday is fine with God, than why is it not so fine with us?  We take vacations from our ordinary life.  Maybe we should take vacation from fantasy, and trying to be someone we are not.

  1. Why is the church so filled with glitter and gold? Why are there so many "traditions" and celebrations? What happened to simple and using the excess to help the poor? If everyday is okay with God, what happened to the Church?
