Prayer Hands

This time lapse video was taken at Bear Valley Church's 24hr worship experience titled "Hide Away with God." Prayer Hands was one of nine tactile "stations" for experiencing God and connecting our community through prayer, confession, and contemplation. Live worship through music of diverse styles was lifted up for 24 hours straight, as participants moved in and out of the sanctuary and through the contemplative stations, in and out of their work day. It was a powerful time.

The music is from Derek Webb's collaborative project and instrumental album titled "Feedback." You should check it out: http://www.derekwebb.com/

Phoenix



A phoenix from the flames... I will rise.

So much Vibrancy!

How did I let this practice of blogging slip away? I just re-read much of it, and there is so much vibrancy. So much promise. So much emotion and truth. So many crystallized fragments of wisdom that briefly flashed past this distorted looking glass of mine. They would have dissipated into the aether never to be remembered had they not been codified here.



WRITE IT DOWN!



That's a challenge to you. To me. Let's get back to it.

11 Months

It's been eleven months since something was posted here. Eleven months. Hard ones. Good ones. Challenging ones. Ones full of the obscuring mists of uncertainty and sideline endeavors while waiting... waiting... not so patiently for freedom.


I feel like a taughtly drawn arrow yearning to fly and find its mark!


But if I am an arrow, my smith has left a fletch askew. So sharpened is my point! So straight the shaft! But this fletch vexes me... How can I fly straight and true with a fletch askew? Yet still I am drawn taught and eager to soar, rising and falling with the archer's breath as the mists swirl and slowly dissipate before us. waiting... waiting... not so patiently for freedom.
