I’m trying to watch at least one TED video a week. I chose this one because our church is grappling the question of leadership - who is a leader, why are they a leader. I say until we can articulate WHY we do what we do - and in a church, that really needs to be a faith-based response - we can’t even attempt to tackle the question of what we do. This TED talk by Simon Sinek reinforced that idea for me.

Thinking on today’s reading from Acts…

What does my faith give me the freedom to do? How does my faith free me from prisons of my own making, or that the world has imposed upon me? What does my faith empower me to do?

My faith frees me to believe in love. To dare to hope and stand for justice. To say, “the things of this world are not enough, I want more. I want to be a better person. I want to be pro-human.”

"Stop whatever you are doing. Go to a room where you can be all by yourself, and close the door...."

“Stop whatever you are doing. Go to a room where you can be all by yourself, and close the door. Enter the inner sanctum of your soul. Do not worry there. Do not think about all the things you have to do. Speak to your Creator, saying, “Your face, LORD, do I seek.””

Breath of Life
Breath of Heaven
I want the joy of Christmas.
I need your breath in me. Literally. This asthma thing wears on me.
But I need your breath in that space there which has doubt about all of Them.
I never doubt you, your presence, your love.
But I doubt Them.
They make me Weary.
But then I realize.
Doubting them… Means doubting you.
And your fire.
Your love.
Your Spirit.
Your Breath.
