reflections... questions... conversations: the freight car
http://thesonstillshines.blogspot.com/2008/10/freight-car.html
Reflections. questions. conversations. Friday, October 31, 2008. A while back I had a dream. It is said God speaks to us in our dreams, in the twilight hours as our eyes tremble beneath closed lids. At the time that I experienced this dream I had no idea what it meant. But now as I review it I think I have better insight. I wonder what we would have found in the next freight car. What a cool revelation about fear - i wonder what was in the other car too. November 4, 2008 at 1:44 AM. Hidden In My Heart.

reflections... questions... conversations: May 2008
http://thesonstillshines.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Reflections. questions. conversations. Saturday, May 31, 2008. In the book, “Heart of the Artist,” Rory Noland asks the reader to choose a verse that reflects your passion. For me this verse is John 3:8, “The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”. But though my body might be stuck in the gravitational pull of this world, my soul is reaching toward heaven. To realize who we are, who we.

reflections... questions... conversations: tulips
http://thesonstillshines.blogspot.com/2009/04/tulips.html
Reflections. questions. conversations. Tuesday, April 28, 2009. I’ve been noticing evidence of spring outside. Like many other people, spring is my favorite season. Spring breathes life into things that you thought were dead. The sleeping seed buried within the earth awakens and produces something beautiful and unquestionably, alive. Nice to hear your voice again! May 1, 2009 at 3:39 PM. Beautiful. Poetic. Relatable. So glad you're my friend. May 10, 2009 at 2:53 AM. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

reflections... questions... conversations: truth
http://thesonstillshines.blogspot.com/2009/05/truth.html
Reflections. questions. conversations. Friday, May 29, 2009. There is truth. There are lies. Sometimes I wonder how to tell the difference. Sometimes I wonder which things I accept as truth are lies in disguise. Lately, I am struggling because I want to lay hold of something concrete in my mind. I want the answers. I’m sick of sitting with questions. I realize that I will never have it all figured out, but that doesn. 8217;t work like that. That last part seems a little out of sync, doesn. I am trying to...

Reflections. questions. conversations. Saturday, January 17, 2009. Dallas Willard discusses the "gospel of sin management" in his book,. And several other authors share similar views on the subject. To summarize, they are saying we Christians tend to spend a lot of time trying not to sin, and I believe this is true, we do. By our own hand I believe we have largely defined Christianity as a religion focused on following the rules and avoiding sin. So, while outwardly all of us who follow Christ may appear...

reflections... questions... conversations: June 2008
http://thesonstillshines.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Reflections. questions. conversations. Wednesday, June 25, 2008. A girl, a tiger and a piece of glass. It is summer and that means lots of outdoor adventures. On a recent escapade to the zoo with my girls, we looked in on the white Siberian tiger…. There are two levels to this story. First level – the earthly moral of the story:. Don’t go near tigers, unless you can count on an impenetrable wall to protect you from imminent death. A titanium body suit could serve as plan B. In the spiritual realm a metap...

Reflections. questions. conversations. Tuesday, September 2, 2008. Been told and I believe that God is everywhere, in everything, waiting to be discovered. So when I fail to see him I attribute the problem to my eyesight. So I look for him, or at least I try. But lately I feel like I’ ve. There seems to be One who knows where all the jigsaw pieces go.

reflections... questions... conversations: December 2008
http://thesonstillshines.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Reflections. questions. conversations. Monday, December 8, 2008. A fistful of dirt. Have you ever fantasized about being someone different? Instead, I felt ordinary and plain. Thus began a long journey up Achievement Mountain. Perhaps you have traveled this road too? The path winds up a treacherous. My hope is that I will learn to take firm hold of acceptance, instead of grasping handfuls of dirt on Achievement Mountain. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Hidden In My Heart. See All The People.

reflections... questions... conversations: a sunny day in november
http://thesonstillshines.blogspot.com/2008/11/sunny-day-in-november.html
Reflections. questions. conversations. Thursday, November 6, 2008. A sunny day in november. Unusual weather for November, isn’t it? When a person is dying and their loved ones know it, they make efforts to create space for intimate conversations and special moments that they can keep with them when their loved one leaves. As a beautiful thing comes to a close, we all do what we can to hold onto its beauty a little longer. November 8, 2008 at 12:26 PM. November 16, 2008 at 8:13 PM. Hidden In My Heart.
