One

One H. A. Williams I cannot see God because God is my eyes. I cannot hear God because God is my ears. I cannot walk to God because God is my feet. And if apparently I am alone and God is not there, that is because God will not separate his presence from my own.

MINemergent - Bible is a True Story

Having trouble viewing this email? Click here

Mar 27, 2012      Bible is a true story   The Bible is a true story but not always factual. The truth of the Bible doesn't come from the facts of the stories, but rather from the spiritual meaning of those stories. The true ideas the Bible teaches have little to do with history, geology, or any matters of the natural world, but have everything to do with the spiritual world and the things that really matter in our lives.     Amos Glenn    Start or join the conversation for this posting on the Emergent Village Facebook Page Visit the new The Emergent Village Voice blog at EmergentVillage.com     At Emergent Village we love quotes. Deep, practical, ancient, new, edgy or smooth, from Einstein or from your own head - great quotes keep us searching for the fundamental truths that unite us all, and help us learn from each other.

Daily Meditation: Living Faithfully in an Ambiguous World

Having trouble viewing this email? Click here

Tuesday March 27, 2012    Living Faithfully in an Ambiguous World    Our hearts and minds desire clarity.  We like to have a clear picture of a situation, a clear view of how things fit together, and clear insight into our own and the world's problems.   But just as in nature colors and shapes mingle without clear-cut distinctions, human life doesn't offer the clarity we are looking for.  The borders between love and hate, evil and good, beauty and ugliness, heroism and cowardice, care and neglect, guilt and blamelessness are mostly vague, ambiguous, and hard to discern.  It is not easy to live faithfully in a world full of ambiguities.  We have to learn to make wise choices without needing to be entirely sure.   Comment on this Daily Meditation. Journey with us this Lent. Reflect on COMPASSION.   Visit our website for inspiration, resources, news, events, community. Text excerpts taken from Bread for the Journey, by Henri J.M.

The Great Task

The Great Task Lawrence Kushner When you see something that is broken, fix it. When you find something that is lost, return it. When you see something that needs to be done, do it. In that way, you will take care of your world and repair creation. Source: Eyes Remade for Wonder Add your thoughts at inward/outward This message is a daily service of inward/outward.

MINemergent - Forgive for a Healthy HRV

Having trouble viewing this email? Click here

Mar 26, 2012      Forgive for a healthy HRV   High HRV (heart rate variability) has been associated with heart health, while low HRV has been associated with illness. ... One critical piece of HRV is forgiveness. By holding on to hurts and anger, you lower your HRV and increase your own chances for heart problems. Learning to let go and forgive those who hurt you is one way to allow your heart's rhythm room to expand.   Daniel G. Amen Change your brain, change your body    Start or join the conversation for this posting on the Emergent Village Facebook Page Visit the new The Emergent Village Voice blog at EmergentVillage.com     What do you get when you cross Emergent Village with dynamic thinkers?

Daily Meditation: Becoming Friends of Our Children

Having trouble viewing this email? Click here

Monday March 26, 2012   Becoming Friends of Our Children  Can fathers and mothers become friends of their children?  Many children leave their parents to find freedom and independence and return to them only occasionally.  When they return they often feel like children again and therefore do not want to stay long.  Many parents worry about children's well-being after they have left home.  When their children visit they want to be caring parents again. But a mother can also become the daughter of her daughter and a father the son of his son.  A mother can become the daughter of her son and a father the son of his daughter.  Father and mother become brother and sister of their own children, and  they all can become friends.  It doesn't happen often, but when it does happen it is as beautiful to watch as the dawn of a new day.   Comment on this Daily Meditation.
