This morning I listened to the March 19, 2006 message by pastor Rick from Imago Dei Community Church in Portland, OR. It is a great message about lent, remembering the story of the resurrection of Jesus, and learning to live in the reality of it.
I have often wondered what is meant by the phrase “living the resurrection life”. This podcast is really helpful and challenging in understanding this. I recommend you listen to it. You can go through itunes and search under imago dei, or click here and dowload it off of the Imago Dei web site.

Ordinary people. Lifeboat strikes again.
We all want to be extraordinary and so as Christians, we decide “Well i will be extraordinary at being a Christian” and we cling on to the practices we associate with that and we convince ourselves that we are doing well, but the fact remains, we’re still ordinary. And all our senses tell us to cling to something.
Resurrection life is in our making the bed, changing diapers, food, breathing, etc.
