Bill's Blog - Monthly Summary

Hello! Here's a summary of my posts from the past month. I'm glad you're with me on the journey. My goal for this journey through life is to "wake up, remember and come alive," and help others do the same. So to that end, take what's helpful here and leave the rest! (Looking forward to reading some of your post comments as well.)

White Wine in the Sun

White Wine in the Sun by Tim Minchin is one of my new favorite Christmas songs. It might seem strange considering he's an atheist, but an atheist who gets "it" and knows it's all about love. But the tune, melody and image gets to the heart of the feelings I often have around the holidays, especially as I get older …

A Blessing for Traveling in the Dark

A Blessing for Traveling in the Dark (by Jan Richardson) Go slow if you can. Slower. More slowly still. Friendly dark or fearsome, this is no place to break your neck by rushing, by running, by crashing into what you cannot see. Then again, it is true: different darks have different tasks, and if you have arrived here unawares, if …

Believe It

Believe It. The seeker said to God: “Tell me, tell me something I can treasure and remember.” And God said “I love you. I love you. I love you.” The seeker replied: “Is that all? Tell me something else.” And God said “Believe it!” What would it mean for you if you were convinced that God loves you unconditionally? It's …

Love Dogs

Love Dogs (by Rumi) One night a man was crying, “Allah, Allah!” His lips grew sweet with the praising, until a cynic said, “So! I have heard you calling out, but have you ever gotten any response?” The man had no answer for that. He quit praying and fell into a confused sleep. He dreamed he saw Khidr, the guide …

Remembering God

Remembering God. There was a three-year-old girl who was the only child in her family. Her mom was pregnant, and this three-year-old girl was very excited about having a baby in the house. The day comes when the mother-to-be goes into labour, and the mom and dad go off to the hospital. A couple of days later they come home …

Don't Be Fooled By Me

Don't Be Fooled By Me (by Charles Finn) Don't be fooled by me. Don't be fooled by the face I wear for I wear a mask, a thousand masks, masks that I'm afraid to take off, and none of them is me. Pretending is an art that's second nature with me, but don't be fooled, for God's sake don't be …

Connecting with God from the Heart

Connecting with God from the Heart There are not many worship songs that I can "stomach" lately, but this is not one of them! "Here's my Heart" by Lauren Daigle is a gem. A beautiful song, a passionate song and a song with good theology. It was in passing through the kitchen yesterday morning that I heard this song playing …

Pray Rain

Pray Rain (by Gregg Braden) Back in the early ’90s, I was living in the high desert of northern New Mexico. This was during one of the worst droughts that the Southwest had ever recorded. The elders in the native pueblos said that as far back as they could remember they’d never gone so long without rain. David, a native …
