Hello! Assignment number 3 in the Look Again game – a game to help us pay attention to life as it passes by: Take a picture of the view from your computer. You spend enough time with that view in front of you – document it. See if you see anything new looking at the [...]
180: Stories of People Who Changed Their Lives by Changing Their Minds
The book is called 180: Stories of People Who Changed Their Lives by Changing Their Minds, and I have an essay in the mix. Here’s the product description: We all have theories and ideas about things we haven’t experienced. But when life doesn’t work out like we expect, we are sometimes forced to reverse our [...]
The Soul of Woman: a note to the gifted artist Kelly Bryant
What do you think of Kelly’s stuff? Do you see what I see about the soul of women in her work? And do you see the beauty in feminine strength that I’m scratching at? Here’s a note I just sent her in reply to self-doubt she’d expressed… May my self-doubts and the external feedback I [...]
Whatdoigottado? Life and Community
Have you figured out the balance between personal responsibility and life in community? I’m further from it than I thought I was.

Look Again No.1: Make an Encouraging Banner

I’m calling it “Look Again” instead of “Learning to Love You More,” but it’s the same deal. I’d suggest we all play [...]
Psalm 911
The Christian Missionary Alliance denomination was looking for a video to commemorate the anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks. I’d seen the footage of the planes and the towers enough times, and wasn’t interested. In the end, we created this piece (on the cheap, using scraps of footage from other projects) to put together [...]
Learning My Name: Audiobook Sample Chapter (The Leper)
Learning My Name is my second book. The first book, My Beautiful Idol, is a prodigal sort of story. The second is more of an “elder brother” response. It’s about identity, about learning to trust, about the false roles I’ve played (and have seen in plenty of other people), and about a better alternative. You [...]
