The Way

Jesus told someone that he had no place to rest his head.  He slept on the streets?  No.  His emphasis, or point, is that he was not a a religion of place.  He was about "The Way."  He was about a manner of living that takes a lifetime plus, to make us all we are supposed to be, our potential realized.  There was no Jerusalem, Mecca, Vatican Rome for Jesus.  You can visit a holy sight or religious center and then check it off your bucket list.  You never check off "The Way" on a bucket list.  It is never finished.  It is a bit like a twelve step program of recovery.  One is never recovered from an addiction.  One is always recovering.  One is alway on the way to wholeness.  For all of us, bad behavior always lurks.  It seems to be in our spiritual DNA.  It is easier to fall off the way then to stay on it.  I have found it so.  I seem to have original sin molecules coursing through my heart.  But they love me in Horse Shoe Bay, Texas!
