May this day bring Sabbath rest to my heart and my home.
May God’s image in me be restored, and my imagination in God be re-storied.
May the gravity of material things be lightened, and the relativity of time slow down.
May I know grace to embrace my own finite smallness in the arms of God’s infinite greatness.
May God’s Word feed me and His Spirit lead me into the week and into the life to come.
Wayne Muller, Sabbath (p1)

Liturgy
Liturgy is for holding powerful energy/emotion.
Liturgy for monotones and monotoned living
Liturgy for the mourning of dreams not achieved
Liturgy for the putting to rest of broken dreams
Liturgy for sickness that will not go away

Give me one hundred preachers who fear nothing but sin and desire nothing but God, and I care not a straw whether they be clergymen or laymen; such alone will shake the gates of hell and set up the kingdom of heaven on earth. God does nothing but in answer to prayer.

Economies
Have you tried to use Chinese currency is America? Money is not universal but is designed for specific economies. When we answer life’s deepest questions in the economy of humanism we are choosing a specific market to take our business. The question really is...where is the best place to handle my assets? My mind, my heart and my strength. Testimony based evangelism works better than apologetics style because it’s while it’s not a sweeping endorsement of the system...it does say what you can do with that gaping need of poverty in your soul.

Active Ideaing
Most of my job is ideas. But ideas do a lot and can be a very active thing. What is Spiritual warfare but the combat of living and active ideas.

An On Going Stream of Conscious
Walking astride a loading man the first thing that came to my mind was wondering how much the load we bear really weighs. When we bare all we are naked and that can be revealing.
Describing his face it was all a light. The cheeks were flush with a mellow warmth.

Which Event?
I have felt pulled and slightly tired. I have been trying to describe it and get at it but it’s been difficult. Partly because it’s not a tired from a lack of rest but because of the work. I feel like I am FULL and BUSY all without having yet started the work.
It’s like this: Imagine you wake up from mid day dream and you are at the olympics. You are wearing the spandex of an athlete and are standing in the track and field stadium wondering which event you are supposed to be in..maybe even multiple? You can tell your muscles have been recently used and you are still breathing heavy from doing an event that you can’t remember and you have this anxiety that another one is coming that you don’t remember.
This describes the anxious tired that I have been feeling for the past few months. I don’t need a nap. I need direction of where to run, jump or pulvalt. I am ready to go..but where. Instead of running like Ussain Bolt (sp?) My local church wants to make sure I pass out hot dogs. But aren’t we meant to be more...Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists and Teachers.

Hero Maker
In acts, 39 out of the 40 miracles were performed outside the church. We need that sort of ratio today.

Discipleship
We have Educational. I have been desiring organic. I feel useless when it comes to discipleship. One of my observations is that I let disco ping moments in my leadership at church pass because I’m wanting something..vaguely...else. That is a mistake. I am seeing that I need to forgive the church. Church people have burned me so often that I am intimacy adverse...just for sheer protection of sanity.
Come Holy Spirit!

Relativity and Spiritual Reality
If one believes in Spiritual reality what is the actual means of effect? I think about the idea of fields and could it be our souls have an area of permeable influence and being influenced? This reality is like ideas that have generative power and personality.

If the Bible is the voice of the Beloved, then there must be a way of reading it that connects with us as whole people, just as knowing and being known in a relationship is a whole-person enterprise. There must be ways of reading and engaging Scripture that strike us at the level of our emotions, our imagination, and our bodies.

and as James K. A. Smith puts it, “No one is more modern than a fundamentalist.” ⁸
The important thing to note is that the approach of liberals and fundamentalists is much the same. The text has no life of its own. It isn’t a living whole—a breathing, fiery creature full of mystery, something to be approached with care and humility; it’s a subject to be mastered, a corpse to be dissected.
