The GOOD News:For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world but to save the world through him. THAT'S IT IN A NUTSHELL.
THE whole chebang IN A NUTSHELL
"‘Love the Lordyour God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment.And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
The thief's purpose is to
steal and kill and destroy.
My purpose is to give them
a rich and satisfying life.
God-the-Creator's demonstrated continual interest is the wellbeing of all of us. There is something enormously special about love. Uniquely transformative. Fascinating. Hold it close; health, humor and happiness are wrapped in its hug.
Done right by God. Doing right by each other. Energized by Unflinching Grace.
"I have loved you with an everlasting love."
The way some live and love . . .
inspires us to come alive.
The Walk
Nicolette Sowder
"Give me the wild children with their bare feet and sparkling eyes. The restless, churning climbers. The wild ones using their outside voices, singing all the way home. Give me the wonder-filled, glorious mess makers dreaming of mountains and mud, aching to run through a field of stars."

Isaiah, the Prophet
"Rise up, shine, because your light has come. The glory of Yahweh has risen upon you. Look, darkness has covered the land. Deep darkness covers the people. But Yahweh will rise upon you. His glory will appear over you, and nations will come to your light."
Bishop Gene Robinson
"It's funny isn't it? That you can preach a judgmental and vengeful and angry God and nobody will mind. But you start preaching a God that is too accepting, too loving, too forgiving, too merciful, too kind . . . and you are in trouble."
Desmond Tutu
"You may be surprised at the people we find in heaven. God has a soft spot for sinners. His standards are quite low.."
Albert Einstein
"The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift."
Helen Keller
"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt by the heart."

"Healing is so hard because it's a constant battle between your inner child, who's scared and just wants safety, your inner teenager, who's angry and just wants justice, and your adult self, who is tired and just wants peace. Be gentle with yourself."
Salt of The Soil
SAND is not SALT
Be who YOU are! If you don't like what you are, TRANSFORM
Do what it takes! If you don't like where you're headed, TURN
The BEST you is you. Be you! Don't lose your salt.
Dear God, grant me victory today over all that assails. Help me square up to even the greatest challenges and claim authority over them, unafraid. Amen.
"Learn to find joy in the story you are actually living." Rachel Marie Martin
"It was not enough to come and listen to a great sermon or message every Sunday morning and be confined to those four walls and those four corners. You had to get out and do something."
The COMPASS: So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets. THAT'S IT in THE HEART
