What On Earth do you do with a Spiritual Experience?

This week during Sunday worship we are going spiriutal mountain climibing. Along with Peter, James and John we are going to ascend to the mountaintop with Jesus. There, in the thin air, we are going to percieve Christ in Christ's glory. Matthew will speak of pure white clothing, the brightness of Christ's countenance. With the disciples we will Jesus changed, we will perceive Christ as Christ is.

The Transfiguration as it is called is a spiritual experience. Not so much for Jesus -- he was and always is who he is; but more for the disciples, Peter, James and John, and in our humaness, ourselves. We experience God/Christ in our lives we begin to speak of our mountaintop experiences, the times of closeness and intimacy with God. In Sunday's scripture there are discernable patterns on how we deal with the subline in our lives, That is what we will be talking about: the sublime experiences of life and how to process or deal with them. See you in church!
