Can God speak to us through our bodies?
God speaks to us through our bodies. Why is that so hard to believe? We say that 70% of communication is non-verbal. Why do we insist that God speak through our listening ears? What do we perceive non-verbally? Well, this may sound nonsensical, because in normal conversation, what we mean by non-verbal is messaging though […]
Seeking to See – Glimmer or Grand Illumination?
Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through. A man was there by the name of Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector and rich. He sought to see who Jesus was, but could not on account of the crowd. ~ Luke 19:1-3 “The thing that Zacchaeus wanted to do more than anything else that day was to […]
What would Jesus Tweet?
“Your words were a blessing.” It may have been the timing or the delivery or the situation, I don’t know. They were just words, my words, on a card or letter. Not flowery or lovely or well-heeled, but offered sincerely whenever I felt the nudge to write. After I had heard this blessing-thing from a […]
Leave no doubt
What if we forget? What if we don’t get around to it? What if we’re afraid?…to tell them…until it’s too late. I live among the self-sufficient. Everybody’s “got this.” “I’m good,” they say. They don’t need my help, don’t entertain my suggestion, don’t want my advice. In fact, accepting help taints their ‘I can do […]
You Have the Right to Remain Silent
Hang out… Listen… Walk in the truth. That’s what I heard in a sermon yesterday. The preacher is a young guy. Heck, Tim’s hardly even a thirty something. He’s a kid! And he’s got this nailed. Because he lives in the land of young people and he’s always looking around. He told us that these […]
The swiveling sit-upon
To be honest, people are a little miffed with me. They want me to join their group and contribute to their effort. To lay my logs upon the fire they are building and stand by to watch it grow. What a glorious sight. What a powerful flame. What a warm feeling, to gather around that […]
Goldilocks and the lukewarm problem
You don’t have to tell me twice. Nope, usually it takes 4 or 5 times. Still, I am listening. On Sunday our pastor, who is talking about generosity and giving – let that not be confused with stewardship, which is money and giving to the church, because people do not want to listen to this […]
The Final Common Pathway
What if I trusted that any question I have God will answer using insight already placed within me?
God in the tag cloud
What’s in a title? a name? a tag? A lot, I expect. It’s what we read first, in capital letters, and then decide whether we want to enter in. The funny thing is, the title is usually the last thing I give my posts or my articles. Because I’m really not quite sure what they […]
