In my message this weekend I'm talking about a concept from Wild Goose Chase. The Celtic Christians had a name for places where heaven and earth seem to touch. They called them "thin places." The burning bush was one of those "thin places" for Moses.
Now I better qualify this theologically. God is omnipresent. He is all around us all the time. He is never absent. What's absent is our awareness. But I also believe there are times and places where God reveals Himself in a unique way and we're never the same. We experience an epiphany. And those holy moments are "thin places."
I'm sharing a few of my "holy moments" or "thin places" this weekend. They range from a cow pasture in Alexandria, Minnesota to a helicopter ride over the Grand Canyon. But here is a picture I took while driving on a bus through the Andes Mountains. It's the closest I've ever come to feeling like I was on top of the world. We drove through the cloud cover and this was the view from 12,000 feet.
