lifenow radio

my church produces a radio show that is simply fantastic. the shows are a little long, usually about a half an hour, but they're well worth the time. i recommend them to anyone, especially those who are interested in living this life to the fullest and not focusing too much on the next. the show is called LifeNow because that's exactly what they look at: your life, now. mostly, it's what npr could be if they felt bold enough to put a little heart and soul into their stories. check out the website and browse through stories that seem interesting. i just listened to "heart buzz" and loved it. i downloaded a couple and plan to listen to them on my mp3 while i walk to work and run. definitely worth checking out...

let there be peace and peace and peace

have i mentioned that i love sunday mornings? i really love them. today i'm thinking about a lot of things. i'm listening to andy mckee, a favorite from this summer. one sunday morning, one of our last at our relief reservoir camp, and the last time that we saw peter, we all sat around eating breakfast in near silence, drinking tea or coffee and listening to andy mckee's happy acoustic guitar instrumentals bouncing off rock faces and enormous pines. the fire was down to a low crackling and clouds drifted slowly across the sky. we hardly EVER had clouds, and it would eventually rain that day. but at that moment, in the clear july sun, we were completely at peace.

i sit here this morning with my coffee (made in a french press, not cowboy coffee) and listen to andy mckee stream through my laptop. i am alone, and indoors. but i am still happy. i'm about to go to church, and i can't wait. kaaren is preaching today and it's sure to be inspiring. the theme for this month is "think", and i'm looking forward to this challenge. i'm glad that spending time with this church is turning out to be everything i hoped it would be, and more. i love the ministers, and feel inspired in everything i hear and see in my beautiful little church across the street. i couldn't be more blessed to have found these people at this point in my life.

i'm going to finish my coffee, get dressed, bundle up, and take a little walk up to church. i love sunday mornings...
