Spiritual disciplines are like sleep apnea machines, only for our soul. They supply us with a continuous flow of God’s life-sustaining Spirit empowering us and enabling us to live with an endurance and strength we didn’t know we had.

Have you ever faced something so daunting that you just couldn’t see anyway through it? Maybe in that moment you even felt like there was no hope, no purpose in continuing to try.

Do you think it possible that we are running low on imagination and vision these days? As a people we are great a remaking something from the past, but things that are fresh and new seem to be few and far between.

When our goal is to love and accept others God gives us the opportunity to put that on display, many times in the most unexpected ways and to the most unexpected of people.
