“O God of my life, I’m lovesick for you in this weary wilderness. I thirst with the deepest longings to love you more, with cravings in my heart that can’t be described.
Such yearning grips my soul for you, my God! I’m energized every time I enter yo

‘The goal is for all of them to become one heart and mind-Just as you, Father, are in me and I in you, So that might be one heart and mind with us. Then the world might believe that you, in fact sent me. The same glory you gave me, I gave them, So th

“I love epiphanies. They are those moments when you suddenly understand, or become conscious of something.

Shame and regret are twin toxic enemies. Our soul and spirit will not flourish believing their insidious lies. They have been two of my nemesis. Their 'damning' tentacles reach deep into the core of our being. Their dark message: you will never measu

Romans 12:3 MSG
I’m speaking to you out of deep gratitude for all that God has given me, and especially as I have responsibilities in relation to you. Living then, as every one of you does, in pure grace, it’s important that you not misinterpret your

Tough times? Up front, we all need to grasp; there are ‘no’ quick fixes or formulas in life. I have been told that repeatedly by people wiser and further down the path than me. Even so, I’ve tended to hold on to the illusion of proving them wrong. Ev

Do you ever feel like you’re not being heard? We cannot live without air to breathe or water to drink or sustenance for the body. But, our true self, our ID, can't live without being heard. If you experience a deaf ear for too long, your soul will sh

Love is the point! If I don’t start from the motivation of love then my actions--whatever they may be, are inconsequential. And I will not end up with an outcome governed and adorned by love! What’s the point otherwise? My intent, my heart motive, my

Brennan Manning loved to refer to the Gospel as the Ragamuffin Gospel. I always liked that! Why?  I didn’t come to Jesus with any piety or with the veil of religious performance. I was completely surprised when I encountered Jesus. He was totally oth

With You I will go. You are the fair One, and You are my lover!

The days are more than curious-they are mysterious even to the most casual of observers...

My hope is that the mysteries of the times become the norm of my today's and elusive tomorrows..

What happened? What happened to our abundant aliveness? Are we spiritually acquiescing to living our life on the outer fringes of Grace? Are we simply content to live on the edges of God’s love? Have we allowed a wall of fear or doubt to come between

The exemplary life and sacrificial death of Christ on Calvary did not change the Father’s disposition toward us; it unveiled and revealed His Eternal Heart: period! End of debate and discussion. God was not an ogre before Calvary! Christ is not plan

Life; ah life, oh ‘c—p’, I never seem to get life right, I always (at least it feels like always) seem to ‘pooh’ in my pants when I try to grasp ‘life’ by understanding ‘it’, and then, living ‘it’ by reducing the mystery of ‘it’ into a system of idea

"Your love, God, is my song, and I'll sing it!  I'm forever telling everyone how faithful you are. I'll never quit telling the story of your love--how you built the cosmos and guaranteed everything in it. Your love has

"Come on, let's get back to God. He hurt us, but He'll heal us. He hit us hard, but He'll put us right again. In a couple of days we'll feel better. By the third day He'll have made us brand-new." Hosea 6:1-3, T
