Grace resonates

D:
I was listening to my friends Geddy, Alex and Neil aka Rush ("thinking man's heavy metal") on my mp3 player in the car, a usual state of affairs and, after listening to a few songs noticed how often the word "grace" popped up in the lyrics. Wait a minute! I thought it was us Christians who talked about grace, we have the message of grace. Not Neil Peart, a secular humanist par excellence!
It got me thinking about the whole concept of grace and how a desire to be recipients of grace, or receiving unmerited favor and mercy is just woven into the DNA of all of us. How talking with non-believers about grace could be a bridge and a place to start a good conversation, since it's a topic we can all relate to. Even more scandalous, my non-believing friends could teach me about grace and how to live extending grace! After all it's the likes of me, a self-absorbed 40 something evangelical who has a message of grace to live while living gracelessly all day long....
Thanks to Rush for starting this puzzling train of thought.....
