The Corpus Christi

My hope and prayer for "Love Jesus, Grow a Beard", is that it will have the heart of the Corpus Christi. Not referring to the mid-size town in Texas but the celebration and feast surrounding the presentation as well as rememberence of Christ's sacrifice on the Cross. My hope is that even if this blog is only for personal reflection and contemplation, that it be honoring and pleasing to God. The Corpus Christi is a world wide festival in which people of many Christians of differing practices participate in Communion aka Eucharist.

In some small way, I would pray that  "Love Jesus, Grow a Beard" be a place in which, at the least I, if not others, can gather and be mindful of the great love we have in Christ Jesus. More posts to come on why the name, what the content of this blog will be and the like. For now, I would just challenge you to think about how your life can more and more resemble the heart of the Corpus Christi, celebrating and having joy in the fact that you are loved to the fullest extent and that Christ took the most drastic means possible to show us that very love.
