The other day I read this post by Sean Kerr, redefining Knights, Princesses and speaking to a Truth that is overlooked in so many societies, and cultures, and people. A way back in Genesis in the creation stories, when God created Adam and Eve there is a built in, inherent equality. God created Eve from … Continue reading Genesis

So, we’ve been told
Beauty is only skin deep. So we've been told. So we're told. Yes, that's an intentional rephrase. While at lunch I perused facebook on my phone and was stopped cold seeing an image of a sweet, long-haired little girl, sitting cross-legged, wielding a pair of shears, poised to cut the "bulge" from her belly. The … Continue reading So, we’ve been told
Memories
Over the weekend one of the readings was on the Spiritual Gifts. How we're all part of the same group (the same body), and yet we're different, and we have different functions (jobs). There are so many things that flit through my head as I think about the gifts. And today I'm going to look … Continue reading Memories
Beloved, let us Love one another
I John 3: Beloved: See what love the Father has bestowed on us that we may be called the children of God. And so we are. The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Beloved, we are God’s children now; what we shall be has not yet been … Continue reading Beloved, let us Love one another
Christmas
Merry Christmas dear ones. Thoughts of Christmas and this Season whirl around in my head, like snowflakes in a light wind. Frittering to and fro before landing and becoming part of the overall landscape of things. Thoughts of Mary giving birth to her only child in a barn, and laying him in a manger filled … Continue reading Christmas
Drafts
Often when I write posts they are a result of on-going internal processing and prayer. I wake up hearing a song and the end result is a reflective post on that song. "Oceans" along with Journey (word of the year) being frequent themes for 2015. Both are a recognition of something deeper stirring. I don't … Continue reading Drafts
Examination
Galatians 6: 1 - 10 Sisters (Brothers), even if a person is caught in some transgression, you who are spiritual should correct that one in a gentle spirit, looking to yourself, so that you also may not be tempted. Bear one another’s burdens, and so you will fulfill the law of Christ. For if anyone thinks he is … Continue reading Examination

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNGdcq0pAuU The words to Majesty are the earworm of the week. A full week. Autumn gets me thinking about beauty, about life's journey, about this blazing, amazing moment of richness, and depth that happens. About the JOURNEY of it all. How some years seem to fly right by without so much as a "nice to … Continue reading beauty
Proverbs 14:30
Jealousy is defined as: resentment against a rival, a person enjoying success or advantage, etc., or against another's success or advantage itself. Jealousy is also defined as: vigilance in maintaining or guarding something. (Thank you dictionary.com) And then I read Proverbs 14:30 this morning "A tranquil mind gives life to the body, but jealousy rots the … Continue reading Proverbs 14:30
Review
I am living in something of a challenging moment. Challenging moments are part of the Journey, they are moments where slow and steady navigation is required. As I logged on to write this morning a couple of memories cropped up. (And competing ear worms more on that later) Our youth group would take a trip … Continue reading Review
