Imagine if our twenty first century broadcast media technology was available in the first century reporting on the events and famous people of the day. Herein is the concept. A modern style in-depth interview of the first Apostles. The interview will allow the Apostles to speak the doctrine they wrote for the viewer to hear first hand.

The first interview is with the incarcerated Paul and conducted by Josephus, a secular historian of the day known by Paul.

Please offer your comments.

your chosen title metaphor and reference is interesting, for there is a delicious ambiguity in it.

“so it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit”. ok, so i’m born of the Spirit (or i hope i am). that means, “so it is with me.”

but what is the simile? what exactly is it? that i blow where i will, not even noticing myself? or that this is the way others will encounter me, if i am truly born of the Spirit? or the way your title of the post pushes, that i will be blown by the wind, if i am truly born of the wind?

i am inclined to think all three, and perhaps more. there is something quite splendidly wind-like about this simile, with it’s confusing and ambiguously unclear reference.

the sermon this morning at diocesan diaconal ordinations referred to the theme of paying attention, and to listening, looking, seeing, before analyzing, painting, understanding. somehow that fits with your new blog’s title i think.

and–if i may be so bold–you are yourself sometimes that breath of wind blowing through, at least, when i have seen you at your most spirit-filled–so i think there is something to my desire to stretch the grammar in these ways.
