Walking out the blues...

It's fall...My least favorite season of the year. Even the happy bunnies in my head which usually look something like this:

Look something like this:





Due to some stuff that God and I are working through in my own soul, I felt the need to ditch doing family stuff for Thanksgiving this year. I didn't know what I would do. But the thought of putting on a happy clappy family face for Thanksgiving wore me out so I resolved to find something else to do whether it was hole up somewhere with a book and burrito or go away for the day. Then my friend invited me along to a 6 mile walk on T-day. I don't like to be outside in the cold. But it seemed like it would be warmer amongst friends than by myself.

So I registered.

OK...Glad that I will be warm after a while. I am going to invest in some warm gear. Stuff that walkers and runners wear in the winter. As long as my ears, head and upper body are warm I think I'll be OK...

Get one of those things you wear over your ears-not ear muffs-they hurt after awhile. I know it has a name, just can't hink of it. It's kind of like a head band. Oh, I'll just bring you mine to borrow. And a scarf, and gloves. Wear layers so if you get warm you can take something off.

Thanks, Kelly! You so nice! I am going to go to Sears today and find me some warm winter running clothes. I guess like that shiny spandex stuff they wear and maybe a parka! LOL!

Relationship vs. evidence

My reply to a blog post discussion with an atheist...I was not attempting to convert him. Just sharing my story.  What a neat discussion...I love it when people can talk about these kinds of things respectfully. How much we can learn from each other when we know that the other person is not going to ridicule or go off or resort to insults. THANKS! For what it's worth, my two cents are below. :) I grew up in Evangelicalism, but my faith became the most alive when I ditched the rules and the play-book of 'making converts' through arguing the Bible and defending God (God doesn't really need me to do that anyway). I made it about 'me and God', not 'me, the rules and how I can convince everyone that my religion is right by explaining the Bible empirically'. You can't do that. The Bible isn't a science book. It is a book of experiences and intepretations of experiences by other people - humans as jacked up and confused by life as I am than I was ...

Sozo Conference '08

This gets a big Dan WWWWWOOWWWW... What a weekend! It was awesome, it was awful, it was amazing and it was a wild ride! Talk about a roller coaster. But I learned a lot and grew a lot and I am still processing. The Sozo folks from Bethel Church in Redding, Ca. are gifted teachers and administers of emotional/spiritual healing. I went on Friday to be in the "hot seat" for a Sozo with somoene from the Bethel team. This was good because it gave me a chance to see them in action. I was able to observe how they work, see what I did and did not like in how they did things and decide what to do and not do when we are ministering here. It was very confirming to see that they work very similarly to how we do on our Sozo team. YAY! And now, a few pictures from the trip. First of all, I needed a travelling companion. So I kidnapped a Horgan Gnome. He's the one who always moons us as we exit their house. So I called him "Gmoony". Here he is with my kidnapping accomplices. C...

Alan Alda's seven quick questions

I enjoy listening to Alan Alda's podcast 'Clear and Vivid' . At the end of every episode he asks his guest seven quick questions. Here are my answers: 1. What do you wish you really understood? Why the universe was created in such a way that violent death or death, in general, was required for the sustenance of its living creatures. The food chain - I'm not a fan.... 2. How do you tell someone they got their facts wrong? Generally, if I am having an actual discussion with someone (that is usually not in a FB comment thread) I will ask questions about sources where the person got their information in case I missed something or to decide if the sources are quality. I will present what I understand to be true and why. 3. What is the strangest question anyone has ever asked you? It was more stupid/rude than strange, but someone once asked me why I was here if I didn't want to have children...As if the sole purpose of my existence is to breed. 4. How do you...
