Value Add: Conversations and Reflections that add value to your life.

Where do I fit? Do I belong? Let's think through this very important question that helps us locate ourselves.

From - "when are we going back to 'normal'" - to "when is dinner gonna be ready?" We want specifics on when things are going to take place. We like to know the date and time, even of things like our death. How does Jesus treat the when question?

Ask me why, one more time...Perhaps you've been annoyed by the curiosity of a child who pesters you with why questions. They are developing their brain and reasoning skills. We all could grow from asking why, just one more time.

What makes a good question? How do you ask it? What are you trying to do? How will you go about it? These essential questions help ground our lives. Jesus masterfully uses what and how questions to help others reflect. I would love to hear what you think makes for a good question, comment here or join the conversation on my blog. Let's learn together by asking good questions of each other and God.

Happy Easter! Our second week is about questions. Jesus asks a lot of questions in the Gospels, join me this week as we reflect on how questions can help add value to our lives. I would love for you to add to the conversation the questions you find valuable, what are some good questions we need to ask of each other and God?

What if eating and drinking was a moment of intentionality? "Do this in remembrance of me" "for when you eat this bread and drink this cup you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes." Let's be people who continue eating and drinking as we wait for the coming of our savior, Jesus.

We used to memorize a lot of things, phone numbers, addresses - then we got smartphones. What things do you still memorize? What if the things you memorized could help you pray during times when you don't know what to pray? Times like Covid-19.

Learning to listen to others is great, but how do we learn to listen to God? What does cultivating humility in our relationship with God look like? Take a breath.

Jesus' modeled intentionality in the virtues in his life. Possibly the most evident is that of humility. From the humble beginnings in the manger to the humble obedience throughout his life all the way to the Cross - Jesus lived humility. How do you cultivate humility in your life?
