Break-free-in-me?

Each day we learn from our experiences and we discover more about what is real and what we make up as we go along. Whether we are willing to claim it or not, we are all passionate about something. I have wondered what would happen if I were to let what God has placed on the inside to actually break-free-in-me — passion, gifts, desire, compassion, thoughts, energy, hopes, dreams, failures, talents, ideas, fear, love, Christ...

And I got to thinking... What if I were to actually let Jesus be me? Strange?

These are uncomfortable questions to ponder... Think of inside-out like this: becoming more comfortable with feeling uncomfortable.

With each step of faith we take our walk becomes as natural as the air we breathe. We certainly can't be Jesus (impossible!), but we can allow Jesus to be us -- We can allow what God is doing on the inside to emerge out. My prayer is that I would get out of God's way and allow Christ to break-free-in-me.

Discover, claim, and live...

I am now in the home stretch and look forward to writing and posting again here and on the posterous site. I will be posting soon!

For several months I have been running on the treadmill between 1 to 3 miles every day or two, but only at a manageable lazy pace. This morning, I decided to run outdoors -- the operative word here being run.

My Biggest Secret

Secrets are not always something you want to share. We are not in elementary school anymore, right? But what has compelled me to post on my blog for the first time in three months is different than passing notes in school. My biggest secret is... I am not the person I used to be...

Season of Dying

This past week I officiated three funeral services. Helping people deal with the death of a loved one is always different and challenging. Though we may be prepared for the death of a loved one, the finality of dying is something I don’t think we are ever ready for as humans. The topic of death is not a top-shelf subject in most social conversations, outside of parameters associated with a funeral. In other words, for some people death is not perceived to be a beautiful discussion point...
