On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

Don’t tell me, show me

The true test of our spiritual upbringing – and our spiritual conviction – is how we demonstrate it as we get closer to the reality of our death.

Praying for all those who are experiencing a horrifying situation

Teenager's empty bedroom
Had a moment yesterday morning.

 

Had a stunning moment yesterday at 5:08am.

With our Son on a Washington, DC High School trip, his bed is empty.

There are some routines that are hard to break.

In continuing my morning routine of kissing his head as he sleeps and then getting on bended knees for three morning prayers it hit me…

When tragedy strikes a family, life can change overnight in a way that can haunt you for the rest of your life.

In the horrifying thought of him never being in this bed again, i was reminded why i do that morning routine without fail.

But will the congregation feel it?

Orlando sunrise from home office
Every morning is the same – two hours of self-reflection, and preparation.

 

Will my reading in two hours be filled with the Holy Spirit?

Of course.

But.

But will the congregation feel it?

Thinking it and doing it are two different things.

The intense preparation is invisible to the audience. And i am a mere human trying to express God’s Holy Words.

How do you take 60 seconds of reading words on a page and have everyone in the building feel the presence of God in a remarkable way?

Had i not tested my hypothesis after 13 years…

Allergy prescription

Forgive yourself and move on.

And remember that failure is important.

Had i not tested my hypothesis that after 13 years of monthly allergy injections (one in each arm) i could live without the injections, i would have never discovered that i can’t.
