An exploration of what it means to "live in Christ" from the viewpoint of a regular, non-theologian guy just trying to make sense of it all. Maybe it's about being aware. Maybe it's about forgiveness toward others and myself. Maybe it's about love for others - and myself. Maybe it's about trust and putting God first. Maybe it's about all these things - and maybe these things only scratch the surface.

From the Foe
I won’t call this a New Year resolution, but something MUST be done. Last year was a long and stress-filled year. I gained weight; a lot of weight. And it seemed rather sudden. So, a change to a mostly plant based diet replacing sauces with spices is just part of the required change.
I’m again walking at the vacant mall near the office every day as well. Typically, I listen to Pandora while trudging past empty store fronts. It gives me something to concentrate on because those empty retail spaces use their display glass to reflect back to me what I actually look like. I do NOT want to look!
After plugging into the app, I started my daily journey hearing the words “You guard me from the foe”. This is part of the refrain from You Are Near, by David Schutte. In a previous life, this favorite had been sung in choir countless times.
