I have this term, "hare Christian"? It's a way of saying two things at once. Hare Krishna, but philosophically focused on this one particular story, the Christmas story.


So part 1, what's Hare Krishna mean: For Hindus, Hare Krishna is the idea of God's omnipresence here on Earth. Hare Krishnas see God everywhere.

So looking at it this way, everything is a kind of a "christ" (with a little "c"). The walls are made of "christ," the air is "christ." It's all God, doing a thing.

Everything that's happening is God knocking, is daily bread. Or we call that the Holy Spirit. It's a big production number courtesy of God, a grand divine magic!

God incarnate! You're swimming in it, ba-ba-loo! :D :D


The Last Temptation of Christ - Satan


So then, from there, why this one incarnation instead of a bread roll to mention, why Jesus Christ, why is this story told. Why does God appear in this way. Why the focus here.

It's a story about a teacher, a friendly, child-loving God. A God who gave everything, who loved his kiddos hard. A God of family and heart, a God who knows us from forever. A God who forgave. And a God who asked for our faith.

Not armed, not as a king; as a teacher, dying side-saddle on a donkey in pre-history. God comes to us as a gift, a Merry Christmas, a Happy Easter. As a friend and a beacon. 😊✝️🕊️



It's this fantastic, off-the-back-wall, knock-your-socks-off, majestic, perfected thing you maybe never met. It's God in the midst of God, so to speak, just crushing it 😂





So anyway I wrap it all up and call it "hare Christian," and I just can't stop smilin' :D ✝️💓🕊️

(Sure enough, it's not the only amazing thing in God's green universe. Always something good cookin' :) 🍕🌮🍣🍜


HA! HA! HA! HA!
