Anonymous Tip

From an anonymous but generally unanimous source. Because surely this is happening to more than just one person.

Are you tired of people not being ready? Whenever you reach out, inquire, want to search out an opportunity, a connection, or moving towards something special? They are always "really busy", their schedule always seems to be "really full", or they have "a lot going on"?

We are told that we are supposed to try to connect with people, organizations, ministries, to collaborate, work together, get initiatives initiated...but everyone is too busy or otherwise unavailable. In other words, it feels like everyone is uninterested, or they are stuck in their present tense.

The tension of family and work and responsibilities, and perhaps a thick layer of enjoyment of late adulthood freedom as an unattached person after having gone through semi-traumatic experiences. Where does that leave an available, genuinely good person who wants to serve, get into good connection, or even develop a larger family or community of like-hearted people? I guess the answer is, alone.

So consider this an anonymous tip. Or an insight. What do you want out of your future? What will it take now to get there? Do you see where you can pursue God with what you desire within? Is what you are doing now delaying what you want, or the person you want or know you can be? Are the people that are never available or interested in you the ones you really need to be connecting with or seeking out to begin with? Do you really want to chase people, or chase God's heart?

Time doesn't wait around. Let's not either.

Tougher Love

Many of us have heard of 'tough love', 'speaking the truth in love', and the like. Perhaps often misunderstood or not mirroring its biblical roots. It was never meant to be a license to put jagged edges on the truth as we speak it. The context of love where truth is expressed infers the laborious building of charity and grace in healthy relationship, one with mercy and boundaries in tandem balance, resulting in what would even be a stable home wherein the relationship abides. And then, from this very place, loving truth may be clearly spoken with gentle tone, such that the strength of expression and the arm of action doing the work is the truth itself, not the intensity of the person expressing it. And all that said...there is yet a tougher love. What is the greatest commandment? You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your mind, and all your strength. And the second is like it, you shall love your neighbor as yourself. Greater love has no man than thi...

Somewhere Else

First of all, I do not like that I am writing. I do not want to have to be writing. I am not a scripteure of choice. Yes, the artist does need the channel of expression, but writing is confining, narrowing to this one...a tedious test of verbal painting with substant diction a picture so vivid and textured, that the reader can run his or her hands across the page and feel it. A tediousness that this artist has become wearied by in the advent of discovering broader avenues of pouring out from deep, overflowing caverns within. Nonetheless, here we are, wherein this composition postures as expedient and therapeutic to current due processing of that which lies within. So, we thusly embrace the point of the journey at which we find ourselves, and soak every bit of intimacy with God He has for us in these moments. And especially when our heart longs to be somewhere else. We cannot healthily live non-present in our present. Whether the external circumstances, or where we are within, if there ...

What is 'Church'?

Do I dare begin to draw from this area of my heart, wherein several overflowing vats of liquid fire reside in a state of unsettledness? …of which one such vat is what we Westerners know to be ‘church’? Let me just say that when it’s time to do my thing, I’ll make sure it doesn’t look like a lot of what I know and see at large. I give you my solemn word on that. I simply won’t do it before I would ever replicate that. I must find a way to be what Jesus was, which coincides with what He commanded us, me, you, to do. He said go into all the world, and He did just that in His world…and the religious despised Him for it. Hmm, really? I’m going, whether you come with me or not. Come with me, though. There’s no place like it. Why can’t we revolutionize with a pure passion and pursuit? We don’t have to settle for what is not happening in our world, our lives. Why can’t we spearhead or surround something new, something that is real and based on the founding principles, and in a way that we can ...
