LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 174 (June 27, 2008) I went into Living Room today with a lot of prayer, trying to clear the clouds hanging over me. The prayers did help. The meeting felt a bit stunted, though. I thought the topic for discussion that I brought was a good one. However, the eighteen sitting around […]
Read More...LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 173 (June 26, 2008) Tomorrow is Living Room day, but I don’t feel ready. Something happened tonight that threw a block of darkness in my way, making it hard to feel at peace. A friend misunderstood me and over-reacted, getting quite angry with me. I care about this person, so it’s hard […]
Read More...LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 172 (June 23, 2008) If you read my last post you will know about my new understanding of what Jesus meant by the kingdom of God and the kingdom of heaven – of this being here, starting today.

I’ve been reading a lot and getting excited about what I’m reading. Wanting to talk about it. Wanting to write about it. Not being able to let it go. I just finished This […]

Read More...LIVING ROOM MEMORIES 167 (June 8, 2008) At Living Room on Friday I’m planning on discussing Matthew 11:28-30, a passage that has had a huge impact on me: Jesus said, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, […]
