Naming, Claiming, and Proclaiming

the Abundant Life

Who am I? Good question. Who am I, really?
A very good question, a soul-searching question.

I am in search of The Abundant Life.
Why  choose the abundant life? What is it? And where may it be found?

Join me in my journey to The Abundant Life.

Why desire it?    What is it?   Where is it?

It is the most basic means of connecting with our God. We start with asking, we move on to giving thanks, and perhaps then to intercession when there is no sense of self but a focus on others.

There is yet another level to prayer. It is not for wishful thinking. It is not to prove that God answers prayer. It is to proclaim the grace of God. To engage in prayer of any form is to say “yes” to God.

And God’s altar may be found anywhere and everywhere, and especially in my heart.
