TOXIC WORLD … AND, “Eden”
From a text (sent by me):
“Ugh 😑 I’m sorry. Our world is so toxic. Our lives are so toxic. Politics and even COVID culture added a whole other layer of toxicity to it. Jesus died for all of it. The toxicity that ruined Eden altogether.
I pray that you and your coworker’s friend - and everyone in between, all of us, can find our way back to Eden, our ( Read more... ) -
GOT LOVE? NO. GODDT:LOVE
Me, to Peter Oswalt just now:
I feel like I’m starting to get it … after we spoke … about living in and from love. There’s a lot we have to lay down and let go of to truly do that … I sure do … I’m seeing it LIKE SEEING INSIDE IT (like with a microscope)… scary
But it’s what’s real

FACEBOOK REPOST: Altar Calls...

Facebook Re-entry Re-post:
Christ was crucified for coming and being who he was. Take up your cross but don't give up on who he made you. Keep those emotions. But I do believe sometimes we do have to pull it together.

I FIND MYSELF AT WEDNESDAY NIGHT YOUTH GATHERING AND…
^^ >> somehow I’ve found myself hiding out in an empty nursery room…
*sigh*
In the front / main / grown-up meeting room, a genius innovator named Serge hangs out, building and workshopping the worship space…
I (gently, gingerly) ran in fear…
Too intimidating…
