Who Sparks Our Creative Passions, Who Comes to Us in the Bread and Wine FORGIVENESS For much of my life I have seen Holy Communion only as a vehicle to wash away my sins and start again.

Who Sparks Our Creative Passions, Who Comes to Us in Bread and Wine ALONE WITH MY THOUGHTS I have tried to take spiritual retreats where I go to a quiet place armed only with my bible, a journal, and my thoughts.

Who was Crucified for Speaking Truth to Power, JESUS DIDN”T DIE FOR YOUR SINS If you have been reading my blog it may come as no surprise that I no longer believe the purpose for Jesus’ death was to pay the debt for our sins, so that we can go to heaven when we die.
