“For me, songwriting is a mystery. I think I wrote songs, in the beginning, when I was a kid, because in some sense I “had” to…in order to exorcise difficult emotions, or maybe just to feel them more deeply. But as the years went on I continued to write songs as a way to communicate with people. I felt like I was able to communicate more of what I wanted to say through a song than through direct conversation. These days I write music, still, in order to feel and communicate, but also to play, like a child.”

...Soul care requires hard work, sincere grief, and profound laughter. Placing one’s self on the gurney of personal growth is physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually exhausting. Effective soul care always, always involves grief because grief and soul care are both interested in the same things: movement, change, and transformation. But if you stopped by Journeys Counseling Center where Mindy and I have an office, you probably wouldn’t believe the amount of laughter sneaking out from the otherwise soundproof counseling rooms.

Christian worship is about participating in the life of God himself: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.  In the liturgy of the Church you and I come face to face with our Creator, Redeemer, and Sustainer.  As we participate in God's life, we are changed by it.  We sing it.  We pray it.  Our bodies move with its rhythms: making the sign of the cross, bowing, kneeling, the raising of hands.  This is particularly clear in the Sacraments of the Church: we feel the grace of God pouring over our heads in the waters of Baptism.  We taste, touch, and smell the grace of God in the Eucharist, the real presence of Jesus Christ, his body and blood, soul and divinity.
