You're Here To Be Light... Shine! Be

You're Here To Be Light... Shine! Be Generous With Your Lives.

Praying Puts Us At Risk Of Getting Involved In God's Conditions. Be Slow To Pray. Praying Most Often Doesn't Get Us What We Want But What God Wants, Something Quite At Variance With What We Conceive To Be In Our Best Interests.

There Is Something About Christmas That Requires A Rug Rat. Little Kids Make Christmas Fun. I Wonder If Could Rent One For The Holidays. When I Was Tiny We Would By A Real Tree And Stay Up Late Drinking Hot Chocolate And Finding Just The Right Place For The Special Decorations.

Real Faith Is Refined In The Fires And Storms Of Pain.

"sabbath Is Not Primarily About Us Or How It Benefits Us; It Is About God, And How God Forms Us. It Is Not, In The First Place, About What We Do Or Don't Do; It Is About God - Completing And Resting And Blessing And Sanctifying. These Are All Things That We Don't Know Much About......but It Does Mean Stopping And Being Quiet Long Enough To See - Open-mouthed - With Wonder - Resurrection Wonder.....we Cultivate The "fear Of The Lord". Our Souls Are Formed By What We Cannot Work Up Or Take Charge Of. We Respond And Enter Into What The Resurrection Of Jesus Continues To Do."
