All of these things all of the time

Grand Canyon at Sunrise Spring 2013. An Exercise in 17.

Seriously. These things, plus work, laughter, art, movement, sleep, faith and food, and I'm really, really, really good.

Advent

I'd like to read through this list several times a week as we approach what has to be a holiday season I am looking forward to more so than any in recent memory.

I'd ask God to place these items on my heart, to remember them, or to find them waiting for me when I am neglectful of my duty to live for my maker and to live in the life with which I was so graciously provided.

Happy almost winter, almost Thanksgiving, almost Advent.





And almost Catching Fire!

Deconstruction

As per usual, I don't agree with all of this. But I am going to point out (as per usual) what really makes my heart sing, what makes me see our God when I hear these words, and I'm going to hope that others leap and do the same.

"...God is present in...challenging interactions."

"'This isn’t supposed to be the Elks Club with the Eucharist'...Religion should be 'something that’s so devastatingly beautiful it can break your heart.'"

"'God is not distant...God is there in the messy...middle of it...'"

"'Christianity...[is] always putting me into something new.'"
