Welcome to the world, he says, when I carefully part the branches for him to see. There are only three and so we know. One of the hatchlings did not make it. But this somber knowledge gives way to joy as the babies detect our presence and, mistaking us for [...]
[god in the yard] woods: invitation

authentic christianity, connect, life of worship, reviews, the latest 8 comments

There’s something about nature that makes it a holy place. The quietness. The peacefulness. The freedom that comes from no distractions – no TV, no computer, no phones. Just birds chirping and leaves rustling. Maybe a buzzing bee here and there. In the midst of my crazy world, nature feels [...]

When we complete a group blogging project around here we usually do a wordle on the posts. I love the visual representation of text that wordle.net creates. And our group study on the Epistle of James is no different. This first one is on the text from the contributions to [...]

“This is the story of an unusual year, when I did something I never intended to do. But it is also a course in discovery and playing towards God, through spiritual practice, offered with gentle expectations.” ~ L.L. Barkat Some of the best growth we can experience is completely unintended. [...]

This has become a bit of a habit so far this year. I enjoy seeing (and analyzing) what content seems to be resonating with people around here. The month in which we celebrate Easter shows that how we remember the Resurrection was foremost in people’s minds. There also seemed to [...]

I’m starting to feel sick. I’ve only started this post once or twice already, praying and hoping that some gamma ray of inspiration will zap my fingers into tap-tap-tapping their way across the screen of this iPhone. I don’t normally write on my phone, but I’m on my way to [...]

Brandon Cole is an ordinary man. He goes to work Monday through Friday, takes his son fishing or plays softball on Saturdays, and faithfully attends the church down the road each Sunday. And sometimes, the following Monday, I hear from the other guys, he loses his temper. Like I said, [...]
