  • Who Are You?

    The video speaks for itself so I am not writing a lot of commentary on this post.  There’s just going to be the scripture passages, this prayer below, and this question “Who are you?”  I hope you are blessed by this message.  The video is shaky, but the intention is solid. If it makes you…

  • This Is Bully Shift

    Love Your Enemies 27 “But I say to you who hear: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28 bless those who curse you, and pray for those who spitefully use you. 29 To him who strikes you on the one cheek, offer the other also. And from him who takes away your cloak, do not withhold your tunic either. 30 Give to…

  • Where Isn’t God?

    Though the fig tree may not blossom, Nor fruit be on the vines; Though the labor of the olive may fail, And the fields yield no food; Though the flock may be cut off from the fold, And there be no herd in the stalls— Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in…

  • Coming Out of the Dark…

    Somewhere in time there is a part of me that I visit frequently.  He is in a dark room and he feels alone.  He is living a lie.  He believes that he is separate from God and from everything else in life–the consummate individual.  Even though he knows that he can get up and walk…

  • Does God Care If I Lost My Keys?

    “What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he loses one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one which is lost until he finds it? And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to…

  • Where Does All the Evil Go?

    When I decided to accept the teaching of Jesus’ lineage as a Spiritual practice, I knew what I was getting myself into.  I grew up Christian so I know how easy it can be to go to church on Sunday and have an emotional or mental release only to turn right back around on Monday…

  • Let This Cup Pass (Feeling Crappy Is Not a Crime)

    Have you ever watched a documentary or life story about some awesome person who did some thing that you know in your heart was the right thing to do, only to walk away feeling kind of like you suck?  Here is this person with all of this adversity that they go through to get to…

  • Hate the World, Make It a Better Place

    There are whole industries dedicated to minimizing risk, variation, cost, and waste.  They fall under the umbrella of what is called “quality control” and when it comes to manufacturing products, I think that there is a brilliance to it that can be applauded.  It is so brilliant in fact that many people have integrated the…

  • The Roofless Church’s Statement of Faith

    Today I have to teach a confirmation class about what is called a Statement of Faith.  If you are not familiar with what that is, then it is pretty much what it sounds like.  I am supposed to help them see how important a statement of faith is and encourage them as they begin writing…

  • One In All and All In One

    May the Radiant Love of God permeate your very being as you engage the message of this post.  May it once and for all remove all doubt that you are One with the Creator eternally.  Can you hear it when I tell you that you have been with God from the beginning and beyond.  Just…
