Two Recipes
Two recipes for adding joy to life. Both are meant to be shared with companions, around tables.
Life Made Manifest
Stories
It's A Marvel
One particular Dogwood tree became a metaphor for my acceptance in a small town. It's a metaphor for the Life-Vine we have been grafted into. And it's a metaphor for the continuing work of Jesus's Church in the world. Friendship across difference.
Observations
Practicing Our Scales
Just imagine if our walk with Christ ⏤ representing his kingdom in the world ⏤ were as practiced and pure as Hania Rani’s fingers on the piano keys.
Observations
What's In The Bowl?
During a spring trip, my wife and I purchased a glass bowl. It's colorful and handmade. When I turn the bowl upside down, nothing falls out. Does that make it empty?
A Little Manual for Knowing
If eternal life is knowing the only true God and the Son, then what does it mean to know? The question led to a book recommendation made by Makoto Fujimura, an acclaimed artist, writer, and speaker. The book is A Little Manual for Knowing, by Esther Lightcap Meek.

The Loop
The life of believers is an endless loop of gathering, including, and thriving as a holy, called-out community.
The Journey
Two poems describe the Christian's journey with other Christians and life in God's kingdom.
Mannapolis
Mannapolis™ is a little-bit-silly-made-up name for the Kingdom of God— the seat of 'with Christ' culture. The name's parts, manna and polis, illustrate three features of God’s kingdom.
