This blog’s purpose is to create a cool, comfortable place where we can sit, relax and chat. Hopefully, it will be a place of refreshment, inspiration and maybe even transformation for all who come here.
Monday: It All Begins With Ashes
Ash Wednesday reminds us that just as Christ taught and personally experienced, we can move through life's many little deaths and back into life—in some eternal sense that begins even today—right here, right now.
Wednesday: The Gift
The season of Lent which begins today is all about acknowledging our spiritual path. This is something we can only truly do if we acknowledge the path of others as well...whether they come in our particular wrapping or not.
Thursday: Fast Forward
The real intent of fasting is to help us more deeply understand and more joyfully live in intimate relationship with God and all "things." This is why, biblically speaking, we are called not just to fast from, but to fast forward...to fast for some purpose that is out there beyond ourselves. What might that be? Well, here's the nice thing: We each get to choose.
Friday: Wait and See
Practicing meditation is both spiritually meaningful and practically helpful. It primes us for whatever is next, grounds us in a palpable peace, increases our creativity, and helps us prioritize what matters and what doesn't. Most of all, through meditation we can experience the sense of a safe, loving “presence." Is it a gentle encounter with God, the divine, our higher power? Whatever your terminology, I think so. What about you?
