heart sight soul
That which tears open our souls, those holes that splatter our sight, may actually become the thin, open places to see through the mess of this place to the heart-aching beauty beyond. To Him. To the God whom we endlessly crave.
where-you-live radical
Living radical isn't about where you live - it's about how you love.
brushes counting leaving-me
In counting gifts, to one thousand, more, I discover that slapping a sloppy brush of thanksgiving over everything in my life leaves me deeply thankful for very few things in my life.
giving miracle thanks
Thanksgiving creates abundance; and the miracle of multiplying happens when I give thanks-take the just one loaf, say it is enough, and give thanks-and He miraculously makes it more than enough.
world lenses warp
Without God’s Word as a lens, the world warps

song son notes
God is patiently transfiguring all the notes of my life into the song of His Son.
thanksgiving might way
Thanksgiving-giving thanks in everything-prepares the way that God might show us His fullest salvation in Christ.
lying thinking rushing
Being in a hurry. Getting to the next thing without fully entering the thing in front of me. I cannot think of a single advantage I've ever gained from being in a hurry. But a thousand broken and missed things, tens of thousands, lie in the wake of all the rushing.... Through all that haste I thought I was making up time. It turns out I was throwing it away.
real lying passion
You were made for the place where your real # passion meets # compassion because there lies your real purpose.
fixing worst incapable
When we fixate on the worst in something, we render ourselves incapable of fixing anything... But attend to the good in something - and we act towards the best in everything.
love-is watches made
You, who were made by Love, made for love-- be still and know and watch love come down.
giving world needs
God gives the world enough of what it needs. All He asks is that we distribute what He gives.
thanksgiving gratitude grows
And when I give thanks for the seemingly microscopic, I make a place for God to grow within me.
