What's New

More noise does not mean more of God, 

more noise does not mean more of the Spirit,

more ego does not mean that "you are right and others are wrong,"

sad, tense faces do not equal reverence, and

judging others does not prove that you are better than other people.

For God still dwells with the quiet and humble souls.  Sunsets do not come with sound tracks.  In the privacy of the soul, the Spirit still guides and shapes life for those who are quiet and still.

 

The church with a goofy name

A resource for exploring

. . . . . . contemporary Christian spirituality

 

Once upon a time spirituality was kept in boxes --Catholic boxes, Baptist boxes, new age boxes, fundamentalist boxes, evangelical boxes."

 

Then the boxes slowly meant less and less to people, especially for people of deep faith, or a growing faith, or curious people who wanted to touch the sacred, but didn't have a previous loyality to a box. In other words, boxes were going out of style.

 

A Cannonball Into the River of LIfe

As an act of pure defiance against all negativity,

Let us smile for no reason at all, sing an old hymn of faith, and just stubbornly believe that we're headed to a better place.

In the light of grace, Let's be kind to each other, and to ourselves.sing "Amazing Grace" for a verse or two. Shout, "Hallelujah!" with glee as if you had a rope swing on the Tree of Life, and were doing a cannonball into the River of LIfe.

Refuse to surrender your joy, your faith, or your hope. Pray for blessings on others. Laugh out loud. Tell a silly joke or story. Kneel in prayer. Wiggle your toes in clorer.

Seek the peace of God -- and relax your body. Live lightly and refuse to overstress your brain. Let your faith be a bright, strong, and defiant joy -- that most folks cannot understand. Yes, "Hallelujah" . . . a cannonball into the River of Life. Amen

  • "The Joy of the Lord is our strength." Could this mean when we've got no joy of our own that we can borrow a cup full of joy from the Lord? Well, I take it that way, because sometimes my batteries run low. And I need a little help even to smile.
