some thoughts and feelings before david turned on football and the three of us eat

death?
life with one another!

chakras broken free in the gut, heart, and mind.
yeshua spirit filling those same cathedrals.

son playing guitar on porch.
wife upstairs.
daughter in muncie.
dog next to me on the couch.

filling the need to give to missions work.
sister n law hands me collection box for World Communion Sunday.

wedding coming for michael and yi.
gibran reading on love included in the service.

spent the day with parents loving then looking at "retirement home."
my parents have lived in the flesh gibran's understanding of love.

tired of christianity
more in love than ever with the radical rabbi.

breathing in the presence of God.
breathing out that same presence to the world.

forgetting to do one or the other
causes one to die.

Kevin man,

What do you mean by the "stickiness?"

like the part "breathing in the presence of God.
breathing out that same presence to the world."

A pastor once told me that those in ministry should spend about an hour a day meditating on God's love for them so that they have it inside to share with the world.

Poetry heightens the awareness of the world around us and in us.

Same Gibran passage was read at our wedding.

Finishing up reading The Meaning of Jesus by Marcus Borg and NT Wright. I will post a review soon.
