Welcome Friends.

My name is Bruxy (a.k.a., Boo – thanks to my sisters for that enduring family nickname). It’s nice to “meet” you here!

I am human, and rumour has it, so are you. So, we already know two things about one another:

  1. We are infinitely valuable, deeply creative, amazingly powerful, glorious and God-like image-bearers of our Creator. 

  2. We are broken, weak, flawed, and far from perfect. Something is wrong with everything about us. It’s like there is a flaw in our code. To some extent, we all self-sabotage and pass on our hurt to others around us. It’s a pickle. 

I know these extremes about our identity because I have seen it, and because I have lived it. 

We are exploring both of these human realities on this site, using the teachings of Jesus as our guide.

The Ghost of 1820 refers to Jesus, who, in Matthew 18:20, says:

“Wherever two or three gather in my name, 
I am there in the middle with them.”
~ Jesus (Matthew 18:20)

In context, these groups of two or three are on mercy missions to help lost sheep find their way home. I love that image. And Jesus says that when we gather together in compassionate, Christ-centred, gracious spaces, when we come together to love the lost, he is spiritually and fully present with us. Jesus is the Ghost of 18:20. (For more on this verse, see our first devotional study.)

I know I need more of this 1820 experience in my life. I need to be pursued with grace when I wander. And I need to be on the lookout for others who need compassion and kindness rather than judgement and condemnation. How about you? (See our Small Church page for ways to get connected.)

That’s it. That’s enough of an intro. I hope you are able to benefit from the work put into the studies on this site. And if you have any comments or questions, please be in touch. I would love to hear from you! 

Grace, Mercy, & Peace,

Bruxy
