Need It
Gotta say, it’s been a minute since I felt settled for any extended period of time. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve got it EASY, all told: a steady, interesting job, pays the bills and then some; more friends than I can count; most important, three healthy, happy kids (overall); I’ve got my health, secure housing, …
More Manger
Consider the manger, Consider something All-Knowing, All-Powerful, the Everywhere Spirit, the “I AM”, And coming to humanity, coming to be human, and lowly, and without power among us, Yet finding and teaching us the ultimate and intimate, simple truth of what all power and fulfillment come from, Love, simple, and for everyone, always and everywhere, …
Guest Post: Reflection on Grief, by Kim Brown Montenegro

Christmas is a lot of different things to different people. For Christians as we know, it’s the celebration of the birth of Jesus, the moment when God became a human, and came to live among us. Well, believe that or not, I want to reflect on the spirit of the Christmas season, and expand it …
The Manger and Me
Considering the Christmas holiday this year, considering the decidedly modified format, leaves me solo this particular Christmas Eve. But I don't fret or worry, no concern rather, looking forward to things slowed, my soul slowed, to ponder the miracle of the manger. God is near. Invited to join extended family; most grateful for that inclusion, …
Courage, Justice, Discipline, Wisdom
Daughter, sick at home and bored, notices patterns on the wall, on this case a Stoic’s words we have on the wall to in our house, home, don’t you know, maybe that’s the difference, Courage and rage, what comes from which? Justice and ice, is it fake ice in the veins, does it take ice …
Journal or Blog?
Lots to say, lots to do, so many thoughts, only so much time… All of this bundled up inside my head, is it just for me, or might there be, could there be some benefit, some help to share for others too? Nothing special maybe, pretty ordinary, typical, just mostly one life lived, but maybe …
