God Weaving the Threads of Our Lives into the Tapestry of His Purpose

Created with Sketch.

ADVENT WEEK 1: John 1:14

The Word Became Flesh…     Before anything was, God was. God then decided to fashion companions for Himself. He didn’t want puppets or slaves, so He created His people with a free will. Free will is the power to choose whatever, whenever for good or evil. He also knew that His creation having a fallible…

A LITANY OF THANKSGIVING

Let us give thanks to God  for the wonder of new life,  for his gifts so generous given to us,  and for the blessings we each abundantly receive.  For the beauty of creation,  for all things seen and unseen.  We give you thanks, O God.           Psalm 75.1 For the gift of life that you breathe…

Searching For A Sumptuous Repast…

Spiritual food can be found in many forms. According to Anglicans, which I proudly admit that I am now one, the Eucharist is the optime of spiritual food, which is true. Not the transubstantiation kind of Eucharist, but the mystery of the presence of Christ kind of cuisine. (What’s that you say, Theology right off the bat?)

Today, I read a something good. In fact, these words have the energy and spiritual fortitude for freedom, healing, and resilience. I thought you would be interested.

What can be seen lasts only for a time, but what cannot be seen lasts forever.

PERSECUTION

Persecution… Curious, I thought I knew what the word meant.  I also thought I had never experienced it, but I was wrong. According to Dictionary.com it has been defined as a program or campaign to exterminate, drive away, or subjugate people based on their membership in a religious, ethnic, social, or racial group: Hmm, this…

Harvesting The Neglected…

We are gardeners. You can always tell a true gardener by their hands and our hands are no exception. A gardener’s hands are rough with callus, stained, full of cuts and abrasions and all knobby with arthritis. This is expected for we live to garden. Of late, we have been caring for some neglected olive…

Becoming: An Eye Level View

At Trafalgar Square in the city of London stands a statue of Lord Nelson. Resting atop a tall pillar, it towers too high for passersby to distinguish his features. For this reason, about forty years ago a new statue – an exact replica of the original – was erected at eye level so that everyone…
