Faith

A gift from God to test(rely upon) His power without testing Him.

Penetrating Empathy

Healing the broken language of the wounded in order to fully experience the  profound moments of living reality out of which flows the expression "I am what I am."

Winsome, Lose Some

 We can't produce perfection. In fact perfectionism procastinates obedience out of faith leading to forms of self-hatred rather than disgust with our selfishness. Often lost is a continual experience of inclusion from being born into a family whose head is perfection that gives meaning(winsome spirit) to all we do through access to him. Ephesian 3:12 Only wisdom can interpret failure correctly.

Gentle Restraint

There is no tenderness without understanding. There is no understanding without tenderness. The great attempt, putting God in a box, the mind lustfully flirting with the heart, forcing the heart to take the beautifully masked punches. But our head begins to hurt from the heart’s wounds. The sore hands of the mind from trying to wrap itself around the Infinite, finally pull back, now, too tender. Without tenderness there is no understanding. Job 17:2-4

DNA

Doing nothing authentic. Don't just dance to our DNA. Dance to what is specifically authentic, not just specific.

Turtle Wacks

The politically incorrect  who, having become gentle and patient though often not prudent and polished, refuse to be the Hairy that won't meet Sally where she is. Genesis 33:14

Swan Song

There's a swan in the room rather than an elephant. The elephant is the one that died after the song. Psalm 40:3

Honest Affection

Affection given based on who I am rather than what I want.
