Do Christians Need Weed? A Response to the Christian Cannabis Movement.

Do Christians Need Weed? A Response to the Christian Cannabis Movement.

by Liz Flaherty | May 6, 2019 | Reflections

“I miss smoking weed sometimes,” confessed one of my Christian mentors, “but I’m after something deeper with God.” I remembered our past conversation about experiences with marijuana this week as I was processing the news that Christian leader, Craig Gross, has...

Thank you all who came to celebrate and honor Jim Thank you all who came to celebrate and honor Jim today in person, and online. ⁣ ⁣ I think Randy Cash summed it up beautifully by saying, “I wanted to describe what an incredible man my father was, but I don’t think that’s possible or necessary. Because I think if you’re here today you already know. Just like my dad...instead of telling you how great he was, he’d simply show you...⁣ ⁣ He saw value in people and things that no one else did. Whether inspired by financial prudence or creative genius, my dad was constantly saving things that others had thrown away. He could see the potential in broken parts of a whole. I think that’s also how he saw people. No matter how broken and far from their original purpose a person is, there was always something of value in them and therefore worth saving. He had the Father’s eyes to see that value and the vision to see the beautiful creation that could be formed from a mess.”⁣ ⁣ We can’t believe you’re gone Jim. ⁣ ⁣ Thank you God for the years we had with this great man.

{A Father to the Fatherless}⁣ ⁣ On Sunday, Jun {A Father to the Fatherless}⁣ ⁣ On Sunday, June 14th, we lost a man who hugely impacted not only my life, but also countless individuals, with his heart of love.⁣ ⁣ I met Jim twenty years ago. ⁣ ⁣ Jim and Kim Cash attended Bethel Church and I was introduced to them one evening after service. I took notice of them because of an encounter I had several months before. Before moving to Redding, CA I attended a prayer meeting and a woman spent quit a while praying for me. After what seemed like a very long pause, one of those moments when you’re wondering, should I walk away now…are you still praying??? …the woman looked into my eyes and asked “do you know a man named Jim?” I then replied awkwardly and confused, “not a Jim who’s a Christian”. She then unpacked what she sensed the Lord saying which was that I would meet a man named Jim, and he would have a great impact on my life. Needless to say, when I met Jim and Kim Cash that evening at Bethel shortly after, I took notice. ⁣ ⁣ And even though it would be several months before I fully realized the bigger picture of why the Lord had connected us, I was initially grateful for the word from that woman because it prepared me for Jim. Jim Cash who would quickly pour out affection for me. Honestly, if I didn’t have that prophetic word that Jim was from Jesus, I would have probably bolted at first chance from the bald guy who kept telling me… ALL THE TIME… that I was loved and valuable. He just wouldn’t leave me alone! And he kept hugging me…something I wasn’t used to from a man. And I would soon learn something from his affection, which I truly didn’t understand before from men…that there were no strings attached. He simply emulated the love of Jesus because he so deeply knew God’s love himself, and poured out from that place of personal experience. ⁣ ⁣ It was a few months later, when my own father died in 2001, and I became legal guardian of my brother, that Jim and Kim Cash surrounded us with love, protection, and practical care. They invited us over for meals every week, fixed whatever car issues were happening, made sure we were at all holiday dinners, and even had a seat for us on Christmas around the tree…complete

The last ten days have felt surreal! We can’t be The last ten days have felt surreal! We can’t believe we are back! We keep pinching ourselves. ⁣ Moving back home to Redding and having one of my best friends cut/color my hair again is absolute joy. Thank you @rodinedenise for fitting me into your busy schedule! I love the new summer highlights, and most of all, being with you!

🙌🏼Today we are surprising my four year old n 🙌🏼Today we are surprising my four year old nephew, Quillan. ⁣ ⁣ Quil doesn’t know that Andy and I moved to Redding last week and we’ve been social distancing since arriving. Because of this, it will be the first time seeing the family! ⁣ ⁣ I’ve set up an obstacle course to reveal the big surprise. ⁣ ⁣ Andy and I previously visited the family on separate occasions, and Andy actually has only been with the family just once before since Quillan was born...although Quil knows him well over Skype. ⁣ Not only will Quil be shocked we are here together, but also, he has no idea we’ve moved to Redding! ⁣ ⁣ EEK! This auntie’s heart is so excited! I’ve waited months for today!

I don't even remember when we met years ago...but when we did, there was a wonderful connection.⁣ ⁣ You were a truly gifted artist, a deep well. And your love of Jesus and pursuit of healing was inspirational. ⁣ ⁣ I will miss you dearly friend.
