The other day I had lunch with a friend who shared that she is being drawn to something different. The next thing. She has an idea of what that thing might look like, but can’t be completely sure because many of the pieces are in other people’s hands. I said to her something like, “God [...]
Today at lunch I facilitated my first Leadership Huddle with six other people from throughout the US and in Hungary. We’re fortunate to live in a time when people from all over the world can communicate via technology, but finding the right solution for my needs was not as easy as I initially thought. Needs [...]
I’m excited to begin facilitating my first Leadership Huddle next week! For 12-13 weeks I’ll “meet” together via technology, for an hour each week with a group of Christ followers, most of whom I’ve met through Twitter, Facebook or blogging. We’ll talk about what it means to be disciples and how we can model the [...]
This post is in response to a group writing project about sex, at The Idea Camp. This week’s emphasis is on sexual abuse (#ICSEX). I considered not participating this week because I don’t have my own “story” to tell, but at some point last weekend, it occurred to me that I can help tell someone [...]
I realized this morning that my website was down. Again. I called my IT guy/husband and asked him if he could please check to see if it would come up on his end. Sure enough. Down. Since I was getting children ready for swim practice, and the mom taxi was about to take off, I [...]
This summer, my Sunday School class is studying “God in the Yard” by L. L. Barkat. Tomorrow we’ll discuss Chapter 3, Contemplation. (I’ll have to catch you up on Chapters 1 and 2 sometime. I’ve read them, and done some of the activities, though I wasn’t in class either of those weeks for the discussion.) [...]
But what if he could teach us some things about the move of the Holy Spirit in the Church? Would you listen? Would your church? I just saw this awesome video and it’s got me thinking. Apparently Lenny Kravitz was in N’awlins having a drink when he heard his song being performed by a church [...]
Today’s post is part of a group writing project at Tweetspeak, in celebration of Marcus Goodyear’s new book, “Barbies at Communion.“ I remember writing poetry in elementary school when I played with Barbies and was jealous of Jeanine because she was an only child, instead of the youngest of five,and she owned a Barbie Townhouse, [...]
For the last six weeks, I’ve been one of six participants in a Leadership Huddle led by John Chandler of the The Spence Network. We’ve been processing life through the lens of “life shapes,” and based on the life of Jesus. The whole idea comes from the guys at 3D Ministries, out of Pawley’s Island, [...]
I’m whining to God this morning, about the things He’s asking of me. And it’s ironic because just yesterday, I prayed, “…today I take the plunge and dive into the water.” But that was yesterday morning when life was easier. In the afternoon, God asked me to do some really hard things. So now I’m [...]
