.@AndyHenry10 explains how the practice of gratitude can change the way we view our community and our world. For leaders, gratitude isn’t merely an essential personal spiritual practice. It is a way to shift attention toward what is present and possible. ow.ly/cvqr50Q7HfH
"On the surface, charismatic Christians and Quakers couldn’t be more different," Andy Stanton-Henry writes. "But when we dig a little deeper, we are more connected than one might think." friendsjournal.org/all-the-way-ba…

If we don’t have a hidden life with God, our public life for God cannot bear fruit. -Henri Nouwen
One of the challenges for Quaker decision-makers is our emphasis on reaching clearness. Sometimes we confuse clearness with certainty. It’s quite possible to reach clearness about a decision without having certainty. - Andy Stanton-Henry
So, are these no longer tweets but Xclamations?
I'm wondering if silence itself is perhaps the mystery at the heart of music... And it is only in silence that the gifts of melody and metaphor are offered. - Gordan Sumner (Sting)

We cannot love issues, but we can love people, and the love of people reveals to us the way to deal with issues. -Henri Nouwen

Quaker educator Paul Lacy went so far as to say many Friends communities develop an “anti-leader” who, ironically, exercises leadership in order to resist leadership. So we are left with either no clear leadership or toxic leadership. esr.earlham.edu/news-events/pr…

Prophetic work goes beyond words and call-outs. Prophetic work is full-bodied—lay on your side for 390 days, take a prostitute as a wife, build a 20,000 ft ark, wander around naked, eat a scroll, dine with sinners. The true Prophet is incarnational.

This essay by @AndyHenry10 at @Plough is one of the best things I’ve read in a while. “If you are too obsessed with success, you will forget to live. If you have learned only how to be a success, your life has probably been wasted.” Thomas Merton

Where are the thorns that drew His blood? Well, the thorns have turned to dust But not so the love He has given No, it remains In the hearts of the children Who will love while the nations rage
The resurrection of Jesus tells us that the way things are is not the way they will always be! People can change! Loved ones can be healed! Sins can be forgiven! Relationships can be restored! Systems can produce justice! And death can be defeated! Happy Easter, dear friends!
The reason we can hope to find God is that [God] is here, engaged all the time in finding us. —Rufus Jones
Good reminder via @BrianZahnd
Developing an ex-anything identity exposes an ongoing attachment to (& often obsession with) what we claim to despise. “I left x behind…” Did you?

when the FALL ON YOUR KNEES drops in O Holy Night
Today we're talking about hope in repentance. Feels very "ugh," I know. But after watching Home Alone this week, you realize that movie is almost exclusively about changes of heart, which is what repentance is. So we're gonna talk about Home Alone.
One you start winning with your time-box. AND You become who you set it to be. You reinforce to yourself who you SAY you are every time you DO what you say you are going to do.
