Theseus’s Ship
I initially became acquainted with the overwhelming presence of G-d in a heap, on the floor, under a blanket. I had all BUT completely train-wreaked my life by the time I was a young adult. From a broken home, having developed a twisted perspective of life, I barely escaped landing in prison. I remember atContinue reading “Theseus’s Ship”
Cut to the Heart
Do you love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength? This was the question Jesus posed to the religious leader in Mark 12. He, like us, interpreted Jesus’ cutting words as “THAT is some really good teachin’!” Because weContinue reading “Cut to the Heart”
Supposed (Luke 2:44 Reflection)
The first red letters of the New Testament come at the climax of Luke chapter 2 when Jesus’ family visited Jerusalem for Passover. “Why is it that you were looking for Me? Did you not know that I had to be in My Father’s house?” In the midst of this short story I believe weContinue reading “Supposed (Luke 2:44 Reflection)”
Habits of Strong Disciples

The original article is here http://www.jimwendler.com/2015/09habits-of-strang-lifters/. He has some pretty brilliant training perspectives. As you’ll see bleeding through this re-written article) ConsistencyContinue reading “Habits of Strong Disciples”
Being Human
(This was written to be read allowed as a devotional for ADD listeners like myself.) A friend asked how I was doing the other morning and I responded “I’m here… I am human”. I was training for a race and my feet hurt. I had been doing too much on every level. Real life stuff, here. I guess I could have just said that I was “doing great!”. But it wasn’t that typeContinue reading “Being Human”

Dallad Willard on His Spiritual Practices
A short video interview with the late Dallas Willard, one of the most profound Christian thinkers of our time. I love to hear about disciple’s personal lives with Christ. I think that there are so many telling things about our faith by sharing our personal spiritual practices. And this is no different. I can’t sayContinue reading “Dallad Willard on His Spiritual Practices”
Devoted: Transfigure Orginally Published: March 31, 2010
Matthew 17:1-9 (The Message) 1-3 Six days later, three of them saw that glory. Jesus took Peter and the brothers, James and John, and led them up a high mountain. His appearance changed from the inside out, right before their eyes. Sunlight poured from his face. His clothes were filled with light. Then they realizedContinue reading “Devoted: Transfigure Orginally Published: March 31, 2010”
