About Me

  • About Me: I guess I think a lot... I love listening, truly paying attention, especially to the Holy Spirit, Christ's presence in all his followers. I believe in the mystical, the miraculous, a God who is in all and through all, and in whom all find their being. I have life in freedom and I am looking and seeking to experience some of Heaven now. I want to include as many as I can on the adventure. My goal, call, mission in life is to help as many as I can to process their experience of life and God and to grow into a deeper understanding of truth and reality as they grow into image-bearers of Jesus.
