Welcome to my blog about living as apprentices of Jesus! I am passionate about spiritual transformation and about helping others become like Jesus for the sake of others.
One of my favorite quotes is: "Whatever job we get and whatever task we are assigned can serve as a container for grace" (Eugene Peterson in "Practical Resurrection"). I pray that the words and sentences on this blog may also serve as "containers of grace" for its readers.
I ordinarily post on Wednesdays and Saturdays and welcome your comments on any post!

Chasing the Holy Spirit
San Antonio, June 2009. I am jammed into a crowded hotel meeting room. Eager participants are dragging chairs from other rooms into the aisles. The stifling air is filled with eager chatter. Finally a professorial and pretty ordinary looking man and five 20’s or 30’s -something young people … Continue reading
