Busted ~ Over and Out

I HAVE to get my book draft finished! The first draft was so fun. The editing stinks. I find everything else in the world to do – other than finishing it. It’s me. It’s procrastination. I know this me. So does God. Help! …I say. So I’m pulling on my sweatshirt this morning – the […]

Just Don’t Get Hurt – How do you play that game?

When our daughter took the field with the high school soccer team, these words of advice were our best attempt at injury prevention. “Just don’t get hurt.” What a game plan, eh? How do you play the “just don’t get hurt” game? Here are some options: Take the field but don’t engage. Get out of their way […]

When Christ sets all our transgressions to zero, we can address our weight

One size fits all. That’s what my daughter told me when I mentioned my desire to purchase some yoga pants. I am a bit behind the times. Still hanging out in my Adidas track pants. Comfort, yes, fashion not so much. She was offering to let me wear hers while she is traveling abroad for several months. […]

Lotta Life at Starbucks

I am sorry for eavesdropping  But the tables are too close together to have private conversations at the Starbucks. And I was rattled by the one taking place at the table next to me.

Coaches Teach By Keeping It Simple, Thanks Mike Jorden

“Those who can, do, and those who can’t, teach.” Have you heard the expression?  I used to chuckle at it. I thought, Ha, that’ll be the day. When I can’t do it anymore. “It” meaning play all-out, compete with the best, throw my body into the fray without a care in the world. Well, that day […]

Praying in pencil

My prayer list is a revolving page of the conversation God and I are having. My eraser is my thank you.

What would I wear to a job interview with the Creator?

I am mailing a package at the Exxon station down the road, (Yes, they are the only place without a line at the first of the year.) and the owner comes to weigh and post my parcel. I don’t know him well, but he is a kind and gracious man. We have never had a […]

When Do You Yank Your RGIII?

If the Redskins had won, we probably would not be having this conversation. But they didn’t, so we are. Why keep RGIII in? Yes, he argued that he deserved to play. He could play through the pain. He, a 22 year old rookie phenom, convinced his veteran coach to keep him in the game. Mike Shanahan […]

Called to go beyond our limits ~ by Gregg Levoy

This is so marvelous, I wanted to share it with friends of the Kinesthetic Christian. *** It makes perfect sense that we should be called to go beyond our limits, because the One that calls us is beyond all limits. I suspect that all the energy we have bound up in resisting our own potential […]
