Live Well

I believe in living and living well even (especially) in the hard and hurting places.

Possible topics under this theme are:

Exile: Live Well Here.

Exile is when you are where you don’t want to be. We’re all carted off to exile at some point or another, and it’s winds of suffering that scatter us there. The question of exile isn’t if, but when. Not why, but how ... how do I live here? Now? In this place I'd rather not be?

 

Don’t Despair, Compare!

Did you read that right? Why yes, you did!! Comparing, when done correctly, will lead us out of despairing as we learn to properly weigh our afflictions.

Humpty Dumpty: An Upended Life.

We all have times of falling down and falling apart. Like Humpty Dumpty, we know what it is to go from being perched on the wall to pieces on the pavement. What is God’s invitation to us when we can’t put it all back together again?

 

Lingering Love (for caregivers).

We may not be able to fix or remove the pain of our loved ones, but the precious and costly gift we pour out prepares and preserves them in and through it all.
