After Easter Feast we all have big buts 🤣

We are an Easter People, and “Alleluia” is our song! We don’t fear death, and we don’t fear judgment. God is unequivocally for us, who or what could possibly harm us?! Nothing! There is no condemnation for us who are in Christ Jesus. “But…”

Seeking balance

Have you ever thought to yourself, “Arghh! I just wish I could find the balance!” Yeah, me too. It seems like every area of my life is always changing and leaving me feeling unsteady. So long as I believe I can find this balance, I feel a vague sense of guilt for not having it.

Processing emotions means movement

Emotions are physical sensations, they activate and agitate our bodies. They are geared toward movement—toward action. Even before I consciously feel an emotion, my body is aware of it and is either preparing for action, or already moving in response.

Attention: A Hostage Situation

I am an “intermittent” hostage. Let me explain: The great tyrant of our day, Urgency, keeps violently stealing my attention and holding it at a kind of gun point. \Here I sit at my desk, content to work on my tasks for the day and, “BAM!” an overheard conversation plunges me into fear and worry over the world’s tragedies and heartache.

The Bottomless Ocean of God's Love

Hello friend, today I want to offer something a little different: a personal meditation I wrote (and a piece of art I created) upon re-reading a section of von Balthasar’s Prayer. The meditation follows the art.

Lost and found

“We all are born into the world looking for someone looking for us, and that we remain in this mode of searching for the rest of our lives.” - Curt Thompson ‍ I have a deep desire to know God. And not just know him, but for him to know me. For him to see me. My heart is touched by passages of scripture where God directly intervenes in someone’s life. John 1:43-51 is one such passage.

Technologies of Change

God has given me eternal life and he is bent on making me new, but now the question is, “how does God actually change me?” One thing I know, information alone doesn’t change me. Experience of God—his presence, love, and grace—does. Just knowing that God loves me doesn’t change my desires anymore than just knowing that heart surgery exists fixes my heart. I have to actually receive the surgery.

Seriously!? THAT is good news??

This time of the year reminds me of my limitations. I become aware of my failed attempts at developing healthy habits and I realize that even the habits I have successfully cultivated haven’t magically transformed me into the person I want to be. Yet I still feel the desire to mature and become more than I am right now! So, why don’t I?

Becoming or believing? Transcending the self-improvement obsession.

It’s the time for resolutions. Time to evaluate our progress over the last year and fix our wills on some S.M.A.R.T goals for the next year. Which is all well and good. May you find success in your goals! Here, however, I invite you to pause with me and consider a few deep questions: “how am I evaluating progress in life? What final goal am I seeking to achieve?”
