You know someone who needs this camp…

Masterpiece Project…two camp sessions offered in summer 2010…a uniquely intimate setting for young artists to explore issues of art and faith and build mentoring and peer relationships. Last year's theme: Flow. This year: Frame the Clouds. (hmmm, where have we heard that before?) Check it out! masterpiece promo from David Vosburg on Vimeo.

Prospecting for peace…

It can be found in wide open spaces.   And cherry-pink blossoms.    Steepled logs…    Spontaneous motion…    You can wash your hands in it.    And whisper-share it.    Find reminders.   Carry it home.  

Encountering Truth at Encounter 10

  I left my camera and my Flip in my suitcase when we left the hotel on Saturday and again on Sunday.  Can you believe that?  New York City and no pictures or film to recall the occasion.  Boo hoo. I left home in the Saturday morning dark and met Mom at LGA, because she [...]

Talking to yourself is a good thing…

Maybe your list is shorter.  The things you have to constantly retrain your mind to believe. My friend Vaneetha once said to me that we need to stop listening to ourselves and start talking to ourselves, which was revolutionary to me and linked arms with two other ideas I’d recently heard:  I can change the way [...]

Imagine the Possibility…

  “All things are possible for those who believe [in Him].” Mark 9:23  Were you encouraged to imagine the possibilities? Did they hold a mirror to the brilliance of God in you, take you to the window and project onto the night sky the potential impact your particular Creator-infused you-ness would have on this world?  [...]

Life yet, and more life to come…

***Please take a minute to visit Tara & Troy Livesay and be invigorated by their marvelous, marvelous work in Haiti.  I promise you will be SO glad you did! ———————————————————————————————————————–  So here I am.  My soul knows there is something golden even in the face of so much sadness, but my hands have to sift through the [...]

The gift of presence…

May you and I give the gift of our presence this week, as we with friends and family feast and celebrate and recall how to practice Joy…Hope…and Wonder.  A blessed Christmas to you and yours.  

On success & celebrity…

  * My apologies for going long tonight… Dear friend, so many things I've suddenly wanted to write you about. So many unrelated things on my busy little brain.  I won't hit you with them all at once, but here's a short list.   Namely,     1.  Success & Celebrity     2.  Internet OCD     3.  Fear Tonight [...]

Mary’s Song

As I sang “Mary’s Song (Breath of Heaven)” for our worship service this past Sunday, in the small sanctuary filled with dear friends who only think kindly toward me, I was strangely nervous and so very aware of my own inadequacies.  My voice trembled and my fingers faltered.  I tried to close my eyes, which [...]

Even in North Carolina…

Sitting in bed…earlier than usual due to darkness and chill of daylight savings. That…and a few factors which conspired against me today (including, but not limited to, the lower lip I kept biting the inside of accidentally while eating, and the dog – ours – who seemed fairly certain that he would be paid well [...]
