George explored Paul's claim that the power that raised Christ lives in us too (Romans 8:11) . How can we take seriously the idea that this actual presence, this gift of God's life, is with us right now? Perhaps through the sacred and holy act of breathing.

SLIDE GEORGE READ IN OUR GATHERING

If whatever God has made and loves is holy, then life is holy in itself, and to live life with love and joy means sanctifying it. The experience of God deepens the experiences of life. We sense the exhilaration of existence, the unfathomable intensification of life, and the will to live. Life in the spirit is not a religious and moral restriction of life and its enfeebling reduction. It is a new delight in living in the joy of God. 

—Jürgen Moltmann, The Spirit of Life
