Part Two- On Vacation- January 2, 2012   8  Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.  9  Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.- Philippians 4:8-9                 Every year the Kennedy Center for The Performing Arts bestows its Honors on artists and entertainers for distinguished work across their lifetimes; lifetimes passed in putting in practice over and over every ounce of innate gifting; submitting it to discipline so as to put on display the highest level of creative excellence. This year’s crew included people whose work speaks particularly into my life and who have influenced it to no small extent. I missed the TV broadcast and so found...

12 january 2012                 I honestly don’t have time to write a blog entry today. There have been meetings all morning and I have a stack of tasks to complete this afternoon, but this thought just won’t leave me alone, so here it goes.

The talking stops at about the three minute mark or so. Listen to P...

I had an amazing Christmas Eve. 26 december 2011 It’s two days after and I still can’t get past it. I had promised myself a week to leave everything alone and focus on rest and getting back in touch with the Lord and my family on a personal level (just like Jesus did all the time, but that’s another story). But, it’s just still here. If you are part of our Unity facebook group, then you’re still talking about it. If you missed it, I feel badly for you. I think it was a pivotal moment for us; God’s presence in our gathering in a new way. We started with a piece of scripture and talk of opportunity. Revelation 7:9a, 10 9  After this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, peop...
