Thoughts on Living the Life Creative
I will start with a disclaimer that won't help with some folks but I'll try. I LOVE the Book of Common Prayer (BCP). In my humble opinion it is the crown jewel on the Anglican church. It still amazes me with it's depth and beauty and relevance to the entire life and lifetime of a... Continue Reading →
This doesn't quite rise to my expectation of a "Reflection" for this process. Interesting to note after my feelings of being a little lost in the process to begin doing some reading on Benedict and his rule for a life in faith. You see Benedict believed that in order to have time for the important... Continue Reading →
Still haven't fixed all the audio problems with this process yet. I think I know what to do next but I needed to get this finished!

More the chance for me to dig into something that interests me, has a tangential relationship to my ministry and will help me on the journey that... Continue Reading →
