  • Living In Mystery

    Not Knowing Have you ever had the feeling That there’s something that you know But you can’t get the Answer Unless you let the question go It’s staring you in the face But you can’t see it with your eyes And if you listen with your ears All you’ll ever hear is lies It’s the…

  • The Foolishness and Weakness of God

    On my knees in the prayer room at Andover Newton Theological School where I am attending seminary, I admitted to God how weak and poor in spirit I was.  I am praying for the strength of mind, body, and soul so that I will be able to complete the six papers I have due in the…

  • Know That You Are Loved

    It takes nothing more than a little faith and a willingness to accept that the we are all a part of Love’s Mystery. We don’t need to understand it to receive it. God Loved us into Being. This means that we are not only objects of Love, our fundamental nature is a project of Love.…

  • A Thief and a Liar (Shine)

    Is there anything in your life that you would give absolutely everything to?  Can you even imagine such a thing?  There used to be a time when I felt like I could absolutely give myself to whatever I set my heart to.  My heart was disciplined to Love and my belief was that I had…

  • In It, Not Of It

    Every once in a while I get this feeling that comes over me where I feel like I just want to quit trying to live my ideal.  I start thinking about how much love is in my heart and how difficult it has been for me to find an expression that translates universally and it hurts. …

  • “I” Does Not Exist

    Recently, I have had more than one person express to me that they were uncertain of their own existence.  There is a 40 year age gap between the youngest and the oldest person, so I can only assume that this idea is something that more people  are contemplating .  Since being asked the question, I…

  • Road Trip With God, DMX, and 23 Bottles of Water – Full Circle

    There’s no way I can completely explain to someone who is “uninitiated”, the things that were ministered to me for the next 19 hours because as it says in 1 Corinthians 2, “ Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” …

  • Road Trip with God, DMX, and 23 Bottles of Water, Part 3

    Do you remember that part in The Matrix where Neo had to choose between the red pill or the blue pill?  Well that was where I was in that hotel in the middle of nowhere–both figuratively and actually.  I had to make a choice on whether I wanted to sleep or stay awake.  While driving…

  • Road Trip with God, DMX, and 23 Bottles of Water, Part 2

    There have been plenty of times when I heard people say that God talks to them.  Spending so many days in church growing up, I saw plenty of people “get happy” or “catch the Holy Ghost”.  I’ve been to every service a church could have–even down to choir rehearsal.  I’ve been to quiet services where…

  • Sometimes Words Aren’t Enough

    Ever since we returned from Hawaii, I have been trying to put our experience into the perfect words for this blog.  After struggling for weeks, I finally surrendered to the fact that I can’t and embraced that I’ll just have to do the best that I can.  Words are funny things.  They can be used…
