We need breaks. We push ourselves too hard. We say, “I don’t have time for breaks! Counter-intuitively, studies keep finding that if we take breaks daily, weekly, quarterly, and annually, then we become more productive.
But just as a drill needs time to cool down, we need time to calm down and reset. Our nervous system can’t stay elevated. Our brains need downtime. We cannot sustain never stopping.
So here are some breaks! On me. Click, watch, relax.
I don’t believe in a Creator God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit because it makes sense. No one argued me into the faith.
It’s not because I grew up with it. I’ve spent time not going to church. I’ve also checked out other faiths.
I believe what I believe because of my experience with God. I’ve had encounters that I can’t explain with anything else.
I’ve recorded some of them here. I don’t expect you to read them and suddenly believe what I believe. My proof is your evidence. Please read and consider what my experiences might teach you.
I hope they enrich you.
Jesus knew the power of stories! He challenged people with them and taught his disciples with them. He seems to be doing the same for me, today. He’s often used real life situations to illustrate something about the Kingdom.
I love going for walks. God loves teaching. Those two truths often intersect. Here are some thing God has taught me using creation as a classroom.
I dabble a bit. I won’t say I’m good. Judge for yourself.
Or don’t.
I dabble here, too. I’ve been writing fantasy for years. Here are a few stories from my collection.
