Why wait to be moved when you can move?
Use More Active Verbs: That’s one of the prime advisories offered by writing coaches everywhere. This confused me at first. I mean, it’s a verb, right? So it’s already active. Someone or something doing, right? Or, being done to or acted upon. And there’s the rub. No one wants to read about someone being acted […]
The Final Common Pathway
What if I trusted that any question I have God will answer using insight already placed within me?
Out of the GOODness of my Heart…oh wait
I just dropped my daughter off at an early morning activity. She got out with her gear, shut the door and headed on her way. I almost opened my car door to call after her, “You’re welcome!” Because she should have thanked me for the ride. She usually does. Today she didn’t. But this isn’t […]
Order or Organized
Life is cluttered. So much stuff. So little room. In fact, it seems the more room I have the more stuff I fill it with. But where is its place? Where does it belong? On my very diligent days, I tackle a pile or a closet or even a room. “Aha! I will organize you! […]
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 […]
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. (No, Judy, not OUR Starbucks) A tall, well-dressed, salt and pepper haired, Caucasian man was seated across from a small, young Asian man, […]
Praying in pencil
My prayer list is a revolving page of the conversation God and I are having. My eraser is my thank you.
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 […]
Have you ever painted a sunset?
Some of my fondest memories of my youngest daughter are the times we used to paint the sunset. She was probably about three years old, and whenever we spotted a sunset, we’d pull out our imaginary paintbrushes and paint, together. We’d make flourishes with our brushes, in oranges and yellows and reds. And then we would dab […]
