“You are going to feel like hell if you never write the stuff that is tugging on the sleeves of your heart — your stories, visions, memories, visions and songs. Your truth, your version of things, your own voice. That is really all you have to offer us. And that’s also why you were born.”

On My Mind

George

I’ve had a lot things on my mind as of late. The result has been blogging paralysis. Today I will attempt to dump some of what is on my mind and hopefully break the log jam.

Up the Down Escalator

I recently blogged about Steve Elliot’s sermon “Up the Down Escalator”. It is finally available on the FAC website. You can listen to it HERE.

Questions

I really enjoyed our recent visit with our friends from Kansas. I especially appreciate Ron’s relentless questions. We talk a lot about our respective spiritual journeys. That is somewhat unusual in its own respect. What is more unusual are his probing questions. He is always wanting to understand the why of my journey. It is really helpful to have to think about and articulate reasons and processes that have brought me to where I am today. Equally helpful is his follow up question, “What does that look like?”. His questions continue challenge me beyond our conversations and I deeply appreciate his honesty and openness and sincerity. I believe the ability and willingness to ask and answer questions in such a way are a barometer of the quality and health of a relationship.
