Humble Words
For several days now, I seem to be stuck on the story about the Possessed Boy in Mark’s Gospel (Mark 9: 14 – 29). Each time I open my Bible to read on, I am drawn to rereading this story, and like always, with each read I gain new wisdom and insights. The father … Continue reading Humble Words
Ever Been There?
It has been said that a thin place is a place where the boundary between heaven and earth is especially thin. It’s a place where we can sense the divine more readily.

Did I remember ____, oh and _____, … Continue reading And she didn’t even have to ask

Should I start eating those chips because comfort food adds layers of blubber? Should I take a mental vacation to the … Continue reading Is this me?

So, I’m thinking that this post is going to sound like a cross between spirituality 101 and a fairy tale. For years I have struggled with the false-self/true-self model. Not that I didn’t believe that it had validity – too many of my respected mentors speak of it, but I just couldn’t wrap my self … Continue reading I think I’ve finally found it
