Consecrate Your Temple
I have been thinking a lot about the idea in Scripture that our bodies are the Temple of the Holy Spirit.Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own? For you have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body. 1 Cor 6:19-20

As part of another conversation I posted yesterday that we are in need of a theology of the body.

Burned (Out)
My Dear Friend,
I saw what’s been happening. I’ve been watching from a distance. And I am so sorry.
On Loneliness
Loneliness is one of those experiences that is so fundamental to the human condition that some have argued that it is a universal experience. I cannot deny that assertion based on my own personal experience. I have lived through feelings of loneliness as both a believer and unbeliever. And based on those experiences I can honestly say that there is an essential difference between the two. Perhaps we need a word to distinguish between them. As an unbeliever I experienced loneliness that led to true dispair, but I have never dispaired in that same way as a believer.

***Parallel Processing
Parallel process is a clinical term used to describe the common occurrence in therapy when the therapist’s own experience is reflected in the client’s. It is when a client comes in grieving over the loss of a loved one while the therapist has only just experienced his or her own loss as well. It is a therapist helping a client through feelings of anger and hurt that the therapist has also just recently confronted.

Stuck and Still
As wonderful as the Christmas season is and as much as I love it, I’ve been pretty jammed up lately.
Herding Cats and Butterflies
At least a few and more often several times a day I beckon my group towards to the front door with the goal of venturing outside. Here is what happens. As we approach the front door from various directions in the house, one daughter will dart back towards their room: “I need to get…” , which reminds the other daughter that she has forgotten something vitally important, too. Emmett takes this as an opportunity to just run…anywhere. We seem to almost make it again…”mommy, I’m thirsty. I want to take something with me to drink.” “Me, too!” Emmett runs again…maybe to look for his sippy cup. This process happens a few times.
