Olde words: ...81 year old words about church

...from the exceptional blog of Alan Hirsch

Words: ...Jesus' words

..."Do not let your hearts be troubled."

...upon awakening this morning, these were the first words in my soul

...I am pondering what those words were doing as today's first thought

...I'm confident this is from our Triune God for me

...what might those words from God be for you?

...Jesus is speaking to his disciples in what we know as John 14

...read on in whatever your favorite Bible may be

...I've read Jesus' words first in The New International Version

...then, what follows is from The Message

...important, informative interview

...with our friend, Brian McLaren

...we'll be in San Diego in March for that part of his book tour

...see you then?

Continuing thoughts...

...in response to this previous post.......

...listening

...amazing post by my friend, David

...listen to what the Spirit may be saying to your own spirit as you finish reading this account of his recent travels

...wish I could have been there

...and David's blog is one more well worth keeping up with

...plus, he is one of the finest photographers you will ever know about!

Words: ...from Dietrich...and Jim

...two sentences have recently come across my path that have not left my mind as this week has taken some twists and turns down an unexpected corridor of events and happenings

...the first is attributed to Dietrich Bonhoeffer
    ...(who has long been a "distance mentor" to me)

...the second is from the mentor, Jim, of a new friend, Kevin

...both quotes have had me wondering, pondering, praying...even hoping

*       *       *       *       *       *       *

Words: ...in my continuing read of all things Rohr

...I've found a powerful book by this favorite author inspired by the art of Louis Glanzman who has painted the portraits of twelve Biblical men

...Soul Brothers:  Men in the Bible Speak to Men Today

...impressive read.......

OK...this IS a test:

...in our world thoughts, opinions, prejudices can even be found in each one of us

...truth can easily get scrapped or stretched to prove points

...so, just to shake things up a bit in this wildly political weekend

Very important words: ...from "The Shack"

The Shack is an extra compelling story (see Eugene Peterson's endorsement...)

...a book that has changed and encouraged both of us in ways we needed right at this point in our lives

...a book that will challenge how you think about our Triune God

...a book that is creating and unleashing the Spirit's fresh breeze in the souls of most all who take the time to read and absorb this engaging story

...a book that we've given to many, with the delight of knowing something will happen deep down in their lives as they read and assimilate the possibilities that await a fresh, new, vibrant walk with our God

...you will, if open to what is offered, be thinking about God's extravagant love and grace in whole new life-giving metaphors

...read below just one of the many important quotes from the book...

Words: ...taxes

Hey.......

...just curious to know if you, or anyone else, might know just where are we headed?

...and how are we going to get to the proverbial "there?"

...and when and with whom leading the way?

...if you are in a "Super Tuesday" state

...please participate in your precinct, Tuesday...February 5, 2008

...thanx...much!!!
