Knowing God
We get to know some people quickly and deeply. Other relationship are paced more slowly. Generally if we are to truly understand another person it requires two essential ingredients. Time and proximity. Jesus built a relationship with hsi disciples in this way. For...
Contentment
Mark Sumner installed some cupboards for us this week, along with a counter top over our washer and dryer. I was the unskilled labor, an extra set of hands. Two of the most elusive aspects of carpentry, to me, seem to be the idea of square and level. To ignore these...
Laws of the Harvest
I used to think, almost exclusively, in terms of right and wrong, I based my spiritual well-being on my performance and in many areas, I did well but in others, I was a dismal failure ... that's the way I saw it at least. R&W were the measuring sticks by which I...

Advent 2020, Week 1 … Hope
It's week two of our Zone 2 setback to the orange level. Every day I look for one item of information ... how many new cases. That's about all that i can tolerate. Covid 19 consumes my thoughts at a personal level and as it relates to the our local spiritual family...
