Recalculating: Path to your Goals

If only life were so easy. We identify, evaluate and plot the most direct course to achieving our goals and then simply engage. The strategy runs like a finely oiled machine and in short order, and under budget our goal has been achieved and we are all the better for it as we move on…

It has become a bit of a frustrating game with the Lord the past couple of years. The way we interact has changed and so the way He tends to speak to me has been changing. It has been comical in a sense because I find myself in a kind of argument, two ways with…

I have been experimenting with video and various ways of sharing faith. These often take the forms of rich ancient thoughts and practices which have been a blessing in my own life. Explore the idea of breath - specifically the breath of God and how God breathes life into us. Explore along with Michael how…

The following is a scene from Les Miserables (1998) starring Liam Neeson. In this clip we see an encounter between Neeson's character Jean Valjean and a Bishop (Peter Vaughan).

Even when things are left alone, the reality is they too change, they decay, time has a way of changing everything! To come to…

Sitting in a local Starbucks writing an article about listening and how multi-tasking and the constant drone of noise bombards our auditory sensibilities. I am aware of the Muzak on the speakers over head, the banter among employees and the dings, bing's and chimes of my iPhone beside me. Oops - what’s that? I have…

Seems to be a theme in my life these days - learning to listen well. Even when we do this well, we can always learn to listen better. I have written about learning to be present in the moment in other posts but specifically I want to explore the aspect of listening. Listening, truly listening…

A random snippet reflecting on Ephesians 2 and Galatian 3 as it pertains to Unity and Kingdom Community. How in Christ, we are one. The basis of our Kingdom membership is Christ alone and as God forms community on this basis, communities who live love, we become a sign and wonder of the Kingdom of…
