Grabbed some time with Andrew Schorr from Patient Power. Was great to hear about how he was one of the first cohort of patients to be treated with FCR chemotherapy for CLL, a form of blood cancer, a couple of decades ago. He hadn't expected to survive his Blood Cancer this long, nor to get a second one and be successfully treated for that too.    This is a story of hope.  And a story of a man convinced that the Universe spared him for a purpose and a mission. As he said doctors better listen to him and his patient friends, or else!  Be encouraged. Be inspired to give something back to the Blood Cancer community and to go on learning together.

Dr Brian Koffman is a modern day pioneer, married to Patty who is the co-founder with him of perhaps one of the most remarkable patient groups around CLL Society Inc.. It is an absolute privilege to have both of them frequenting our little corner of the web, and even more so that he agreed to be interviewed (often Brian is the one doing the interviewing). The conversation was deep and rich and you can see it right here on this page. We spoke about matters of faith, altruism and how actually putting others interests above yours is just enlightened self interest.

Is my prayer a shopping list, worrying out loud, or “Let your kingdom come, let your will be done IN AND THROUGH ME as it is in heaven”? Ask not what God can do for you but what you can do for God. Video and text available: http://www.patheos.com/blogs/adrianwarnock/2020/05/pray-for-gods-kingdom/

Here is Bible saturated wisdom in the form of meditations which will help you calm your heart and focus on the presence of Jesus. Today I interviewed Naomi Trenier and Mark Wagner both from the Soultime app. We spoke about calming your heart, dealing with feeling like you are in a mess, and an explanation of why its time we reclaim meditation as an originally Christian concept. I have calmed and quieted my soul (Psalm 131:2) Isaac went out to meditate in the field toward evening. (Genesis 24:63) I remember you upon my bed, and meditate on you in the watches of the night; (Psalm 63:6).

How do we handle it when we can't achieve what we wanted to? This morning my friend Keno Ogbo the founder of Tiny Life Moments wrote here on Facebook about how to handle the being in the moment during lockdown rather than rushing to the next to do list and stressing about tomorrow.

Many of us can't achieve what we want to right now, and of course Covid19 confronts all of us with our frailty and mortality. I was inspired by her comments which I include below, and decided it would be fun to interview her some more about this.  You can also watch the video on my blog.

Keno's Facebook Post

I woke up thinking.....

A few years ago, if I woke up in 'lockdown,' I would have had a long list of things to do, I would have been working furiously on a 'post-lockdown' plan. I would have been creating, strategizing, promoting ... and that sounds like the right thing to do, doesn't it.



But today, I wake up in the moment, find my sanity in the moment, accept the moment as-is, be grateful for the moment - and then I rise in the strength of the moment and shine!



'Shine' may be going on a walk, or chatting to a friend, or writing in the 'artists way' or catching up on Netflix or a fitness session.



'Shine' is not performing, or living up to false ambitions, or being controlled by to-do lists. Shine is not based on external expectations. 'Shine' is not faking it. 'Shine ' is putting forward your very best self in the moment ... so perhaps the question to ask is 'what is my best self - in this moment?'

Good morning and have a 'shiny' day.

What is revival? Could God use the current situation to pour out a special blessing on the Church? In this wide ranging interview we talk about the Lewis revival, and an experience I had when I was a child at school. I also recount a time Terry Virgo mentioned feeling something of a touch of revival hearing Lloyd-Jones preach. I hope this interview may stir up in you a hunger for personal spiritual renewal and corporate revival. Video https://www.patheos.com/blogs/adrianwarnock/2020/03/revival-interview/
