Beautiful Mess: December 2007
http://lifebitesorg.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 12, 2007. I’m no scientist! Well, because I just want to tell you a story. You make the spiritual application … or not. I let my daughters play hooky form school (I know! And we headed up to the ranger station to get our tree tag (I guess before one kills a deer they must have a tag, so they make it that way for killing a tree too? Listening to country music (I know! The girls took turns asking me questions about driving in the snow. Shelley's going to kill me .". 8220;Rod, just becau...

Beautiful Mess: Resolutions!!
http://lifebitesorg.blogspot.com/2008/01/resolutions.html
Monday, January 07, 2008. I am not in the habit of making New Year's Resolutions, thinking in my pride that any day of any year is a good day to resolve to change something. If I am honest, I must admit to possessing the fear that once resolved, such resolutions will only serve to be a dissapointment because of my largely undisciplined life. Believing heart and a faltering will.". If one could only achieve a small portion of this exhaustive list! One step at a time . THE RESOLUTIONS of Jonathan Edwards.

Beautiful Mess: Humility; Lesson One
http://lifebitesorg.blogspot.com/2008/02/humility-lesson-one.html
Thursday, February 14, 2008. Humility; Lesson One. Most journeys begin with little thought given to what we may learn along the way. Only recently, I’ve begun to learn by seeing backwards. Just like the windshield is filled with opportunities, so the rear view mirror is filled with lessons if we care to glance back. This will help us do life well. Jesus wants us to learn to do life well. “I have come to give you life and that more abundantly …”. Broadly speaking, humility can be defined as a proper view ...

Beautiful Mess: March 2009
http://lifebitesorg.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 10, 2009. In that pattern, we are a Tribe made up of many Villages. The Village is the smallest but most important unit of our ministry model. Village life is where we form our deepest bonds with one another in the Body. Oasis is what we call our largest gathering on Sunday mornings when all the Villages come together as a Tribe. This is our dream. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Subscribe in a reader. View my complete profile. Enter your email address:. Some of my Friends.

Beautiful Mess: Generations
http://lifebitesorg.blogspot.com/2009/01/generations.html
Tuesday, January 13, 2009. As I sit here looking out the window at yet another rotation of the earth around the sun, I realize that I’m mid-way through another week closer to the end of my life! That leads me to wonder how my life fits into the ebbing first decade of a new millennium. My cousin’s grandfather died last week, after over ninety years on the planet (that’s a ripe old age! We’ve invented multiple methods to lose ourselves in Matrix-like fantasies offered by various entertainment choices...

Beautiful Mess: Old Lessons, New Time.
http://lifebitesorg.blogspot.com/2009/05/old-lessons-new-time.html
Monday, May 18, 2009. Old Lessons, New Time. As the one who sort of invented (or stole from an obscure source) the phrase ‘lifebites’ one might think I’ve learned how to deal with those biting circumstances? Nope, reality bites! I’m still learning and none too patient at it! Over time all of us are forced to face adversity, but adversity can’t force us to learn. It does, however, force us to choose. I know you could share similar stories. What to do? 3 Adversity forces new alliances. Mergers, acquisi...
