Galatians 3:23-4:7
I was hoping that that passage for today would’ve been Mary’s Magnificat, her lovesong to You. I have been yearning for that passage to come up, to sing along with her. Instead I was offered this……and so I listen, Love……
This lovesong today is not so much about us birthing and nurturing Love in this [...]

Day 21 – What’s in a name?
Isaiah 43: 1-13
for wally
About 8 years ago, I crawled into a local church in dire straits…an appropriate if overused metaphor, for indeed, the terrain I was treading was to become quite treacherous. My life was suddenly, painfully broken open and the horrors of a lifetime can rushing over the [...]

Day 18 – Light
Isaiah 9:1-7
Last night I dreamt that I could see far across the nighttime landscape to a city on the distant horizon. The expanse between it and me was great but the terrain was completely flat, leveled as in the passages of scripture from these last weeks. The city was sparkling with lights. [...]

Day 16 – Joseph
Matthew 1:18-25
Oh Love, you have sent me a Joseph!
Each of us needs to find a Joseph, one who will accompany us through this time when we are nurturing that which God is birthing in us (and which we are birthing for God). One who will provide and safeguard, with gentleness, courage, and grace, the [...]

Day 15: Immanuel
Isaiah 7: 10-17
Today, it snows. And You are here.
Yesterday I felt You as surely as the breeze upon the meadow.
But today, You are blanketed in snow.
Are You are the One who blankets?
You are stillness.
I am chaos.
I am falling into You.
You are falling onto me.
We catch one another.
It is quiet.
It is cold. [...]
making Love
Posted in advent 2008 on December 15, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
True Love Making, I have come to understand, comes ‘down’ to honoring and trusting the deep Presence of God within the other. Being able to see the Real Essence that lies beneath the surface. This prevents me from wanting to make God in my own image, forcing my image on others, and ‘lets God be God’ in persons, [...]
