Praying Like Tom Bean
Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. ~ 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
Hold My Hand
The big generous hearts of our youth can turn into cynical adult hearts. Which heart do we feed or cultivate?
Four Days or Five Days
By the Grace of God, with humble and contrite hearts, may we move from judgment, anger, and moral smugness towards others, to hearts of empathy and greater understanding
Lost Treasure
When we go deep into our hearts, beneath our fears, our anxiety, and our insecurities, we discover that God’s heart is our heart. There is Love.
Changing the Calendar
How intentional are we about our need to rest and replenish our souls? As we make our new year’s resolutions, will we create time and space to simply be?
Love is…
Love is infinite (1 Corinthians 13:8).
Where is Joy?
When was the last time we were “overwhelmed with joy”? Have we been “surprised by joy”?
Yearning for Peace
How can we increase peace and decrease violence?
Broken Hearts and Hope
It is difficult to keep hope alive when the walls crumble down around us and our communities, and child-like innocence easily fades into adult cynicism and despair.
Going Home
“More than anything else, we long for home. Our deep ache for intimacy, security, and comfort is, in the end, a longing for home, nothing more. We are forever restlessly searching for someone or something to take us home.”
