One big piece of Greg’s pitching mound is his suspicion of answers. Responses however, well, Greg nearly always has something to say about anything. So this is a moment of him basically just fielding (or swinging at) your questions!

Santa is Christmas to Noelle Kringle and everyone at the North Pole. When her brother reluctantly inherits the hat, Noelle does everything in her power to make it fit. Join Melissa Lock as she helps us each learn from Noelle to find our "twinkle."

This 1994 Christmas classic isn’t only funny and heartwarming, it carries more of what Christmas is meant to bring than Santa could ever fit down a chimney!

We're each practicing all sorts of things all the time already. based on how intentional it is, you might call it a skill or a rut.  "Spiritual" practices aren’t any harder than what you're doing already, but rather shape and use what you are doing already.

You may wonder if that is a true assertion or not, but that just proves the point. There is nothing so certain that you don’t wonder about it. People who don’t like your wondering call it doubt, but it’s all the same. It’s the crack in the walls of certainty, the possibility that there is more to whatever it is. The bigger the question the harder it is to make a formula work, and what could be bigger than your spirituality. Let’s face it, it’s hard not to wonder. I wonder why?

The question isn’t whether you are growing or not, but how you are growing? You are adding new information, experiences, and people to your life every day.  Spiritual growth isn’t something you do instead of other kinds, but through them.

Whether you believe in God, don’t, or aren’t sure, you have a container you keep God in, a "God Box." Its walls are made of words, images, experiences, assumptions, and convictions. Some you are aware of, others you aren’t.  It’s time to take a good look at yours and start renovating...expanding...upgrading!

Do you look at others the same way as you look at yourself? Probably not. We work with an uneven playing field that gives us a distorted view of ourselves and others, and that’s a problem. To be the person you can be for a world that needs you, you need to see yourself and others for who they really are
