  • finished preaching about Crisis and Worry. Again in the morning. Now time for Confimation prep. Epiphany and Enneagram 6. hmmm. 21:25:26
  • the risk with worry and Crisis is that we struggle with and forget (in practice) that God cares for us. Remembered Julian’s hazelnut. 21:26:50
  • Jesus’ invitation to not worry in Matthew 6 is an invitation to remember the loving presence of God. 21:28:00
  • funny from today: Before parade, a boy standing in front of the glass door with pants at his ankles. Mom clueless outside talking. 21:31:23
  • Whew, confirmation class is ready for the morning. What do we fear? How does baptism remind us of God’s help, leading us to faith? 22:07:49
  • The theme for the week is definitely addressing the Dial setting for Trust. Anxiety wants to turn it down, Essence wants to turn it all up! 22:14:46
