The other day I had a 90+ minute conversation with an industry professional. It was a good conversation for both of us one of listening, and learning. As we finished the conversation I experienced two things: first a deep sense of joy in the sharing of our experience, and second a flash of a memory of … Continue reading A moment of economical joy

Journey
Bilbo sings: The Road goes ever on and on, Down from the door where it began. Now far ahead the Road has gone, And I must follow, if I can, Pursuing it with eager feet, Until it joins some larger way Where many paths and errands meet. And whither then? I cannot say. The thought … Continue reading Journey
Waking up with a song in my head
Sometimes it's rather hilarious the songs that go through my head in the morning. I have to wonder what I go to sleep thinking about. The first time I heard this song must have been years ago, it's been around for a long time. In the last few weeks One Week has been a regular … Continue reading Waking up with a song in my head

Then it is important to realise that … Continue reading Intimacy

I've mentioned before that one of my favorite things is leaving work on Thursday nights, it's Faith in Culture night on the Busted Halo Show. I really enjoy listening to Fr. Dave & crew chat with listeners about where they see and experience faith in everyday culture: music, movies, television shows etc. The conversations are … Continue reading Love is…
Talent
"Talent is not Enough" is the line I saw on a t-shirt at the Minneapolis Airport whilst desperately trying to charge my phone quickly and wait for my ride to the hotel. Matthew 25:14 to 30 “It will be as when a man who was going on a journeycalled in his servants and entrusted his … Continue reading Talent
I’m Divin’ in
Dive. Chorus: I'm diving in, I'm going deep, in over my head I want to be Caught in the rush, tossed in the flow, in over my head I want to go The river's deep, the river's wide, the river's water is alive So sink or swim, I'm diving in (I'm diving in...) Pondering alert: … Continue reading I’m Divin’ in

Psalm 139: 14 I praise you, because I am wonderfully made; wonderful are your works! My very self you know. The Psalms, ah the poetry that sings to the soul, bringing our ever simmering emotions to the surface, out in the open for all to see.
