I’m not Rob Bell. But I get it. I think.

I’m paving this road each brick a good intention; desperate…. I reach The destination I seek. I find a door where I began this journey at the very first brick I paved. A sign it says “only by me” and I notice in the corner, a small hand written add on “with authenticity”.

Unsettled Grace, again…

I rest upon God’s mighty hand, as an infant, as a man. I wonder, God, What is to be? Why? I wonder, why choose me? Dearest Father, Loving King, I don’t know how to cope with these things. Guidance, you ask? Yes. That would be nice, Until then Lord, prayer is my vice. I dream [...]

Canyons of the Heart
