Update

For those of you praying for and asking about that young man I met a couple of Sunday evenings ago, who was in the accident...

I received word today that he passed away last night.

I stopped looking for the answers to some of the "Why" questions of life a long time ago. Sometimes life doesn't make sense, and surely it isn't fair.

My hope is that at the end of it, Somebody will even the scales, and help me understand things.

I'm just glad I'm not alone in finding my way through this life.

Please pray for his family now.

M.I.A.

So we will be out of the loop for the next three days as we drive, retreat, then drive back.

:)

The place may have WiFi, but it's a crap shoot out there. You might see me, and then maybe you won't.

Have a good week.

For Ministers with no fashion sense!

There is help for you too.

What I love about her look is that it is an expression of something deep and real about her. Her clothing tells me a story about her ministry. The story is tells me is of a person who has a romantic embrace of the world, who wants to flow with things, who treasures warmth and richness and pattern, and who isn't smooth-edged but multi-textured. She wears solid clogs, and boots. But they always gleam and she moves gracefully in them. She is not ornamented with much jewelry (not even a wedding ring, if I recall correctly), and she is rich in her simplicity.


This is a spiritual leader who has either intuitively or intentionally learned how to express essential aspects of her inner life by her exterior appearance. Her look is beautiful, consistent, extremely attractive, flattering to her, and communicates a knowledge of self that is very confidence-inspiring.

What story are your clothes telling about your ministry?

Yeah, good question that.
