Then he said to me, “Prophesy to these bones and say to them, ‘Dry bones, hear the word of the Lord! This is what the Sovereign Lord says to these bones: I will make breath enter you, and you will come to life. I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin; I will put breath in you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the Lord.’” – Ezekiel 37:4-5

Tend

I can’t see it or taste it or know it… yet. It’s far too early in the season to have any idea of what lies ahead. So, I allow Him in and I focus my eyes on the Gardener.

Rocks

One day during a run, I felt like God was asking me to use the time more wisely, to look deeper and harder into what this awkward season could provide. It was during that run when I thought about the rock in my shoe… and about how God wanted me to figure out which rocks I had left in my shoe and to begin taking them out.

"Instant Heat!"

I think we are all guilty of wanting God to throw some “Instant heat!” our way. We toss out easy solutions and quick prayers and hope that we see or feel His response right away.

Defying Gravity

With each element of this year, I have tried to accept the messages that the brain has attempted to send back down to my heart; however, there have been many occasions where my heart has continued to defy gravity.

Garth.

I often wonder if professional musicians like Garth set out to change someone’s life? When they write music or compose albums, do they know that they could be attached to someone’s biggest moments in their lives? I certainly remember the beauty and the holiness of Catholicism that surrounded my mom’s funeral Mass. But, I also remember that we got to fulfill her request with “The River” blaring on the speakers after Communion. I sang each word as if it was my last song with her. Since she died, that song has hurt so good.

Mending Nets

As a result of the accident, I was forced to take 6.5 months off of work, and largely life, to mend my nets. I don’t know if I have ever taken such a large break from anything before. In that process, there have been some really slow days, some really excruciating moments, and some really, really big holes. As the healing continues, and as I continue to find more knots and tangles and various holes, it is easy to get overwhelmed.
