#SundaySip

A sip is a small amount, just a taste. Today's #SundaySip is from Cole Sako. She's someone I followed on Facebook and Instagram (she's vanished from social media recently). She consistently provides this great *sips* of thoughts about faith. This is one she wrote the end of April 2017 and I come back to it often. It was such a great thought, such a powerful visual. I hope this *sip* is perhaps the taste you are looking for, even if you didn't know it!  Our Daily Bread. We found a new local bakery and are in love. The bread is fresh and the service is good and at the end of the evening they'll give you a large baguette for free. Do you know why? Because by the next morning the baguette is hard as a rock. Seriously - I'm talking about a weaponized carbohydrate. It's darn pretty to look at but no longer edible.                                           ...

A sip is a small amount, just a taste. Today's #SundaySip is from Roy Lessin. Roy has been penning thoughts about faith for as long as I've been alive (I'm pretty that is actually true and not an exaggeration). I have a whole bunch of his writings saved and I run through them every so often. To pick a favorite to share with you is basically impossible so I just chose one. I really hope you enjoy this *sip* from Roy Lessin. Even Though by Roy Lessin Trust His ways, even though they may not be your ways. Take His hand, even though it means letting go of what you are hanging onto. Depend upon His strength, even though you are aware of your weakness. Please His heart, even though it means not having the approval of others. Wait for His time, even though you desire to do it now. Obey His Word, even though you hear different opinions. Follow His path, even though it takes you through valleys and hills. Seek His wisdom, even though you don’t understand everything H...

A sip is a small amount, just a taste. Today's #SundaySip is thanks to Jamie the Very Worst Missionary. It appeared on her Facebook in February 2017. Jamie gets lots of flack for her authenticity because it involves language, usually, but this woman loves Jesus. This *sip* resonated with me, perhaps it will with you also.  In a world that is so often presented to us through tidy narratives, fuzzy filters, subtle manipulation, and outright lies, is it really so hard to understand how the last thing anybody needs when they walk into Church is more smoke and mirrors? I get carefully crafted experiences handed to me all. day. long. and this photo-booth faith you're peddling is just one more layer of fake bullshit to sift through before we get to Jesus. I'm simply too tired to keep digging though another marketing scheme designed to make me feel something or do something or give someone money. In a culture hell-bent on pretending to be shiny and cute and sma...

A sip is a small amount, just a taste. Our *sip* today is from Father James Martin. And I saw this posted on Craig Greenfield's Facebook last year. Today's *sip* resonates with me, as I've gotten older and learned more I have come to change my previously held definition of pro-life. It has expanded to include all of life, not just a portion. Wondering what I, and many others, consider to belong in the pro-life category? Here's a *sip*.
