ORDINARY LIFE - Thoughts and Ideas to Help You Live a Happier Life

Summary for April 18, 2021

* * *

Dear Folks -

We have a date when Ordinary Life will begin to reopen for in-person attendance - June 6! The Steering Committee is hard a work putting plans in place to make this happen. Just as when we were shut down by Covid-19, going forward will be a “work in progress.” We will learn, adapt and adjust as we go. As the plans take shape, you will be kept informed.

“Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.”

“Forgive us our debts as we forgive those indebted to us.”

“Untie the tangled threads of destiny that bind us, as we release others from the entanglement of past mistakes.”

Those are just some of the ways one line in the Lord’s Prayer can be rendered.

Our primary focus in doing our theological and spiritual work must be focused more on being connected than being correct. This work is not about some ultimate truth, finding ways to stay safe, a path of ease, nor keeping from being hurt. It is about love. There are significant differences between a belief centered understanding of Christianity and a transformation centered understanding.

That is a very brief summary of Ordinary Life for this week.

We called the time -

Overcoming Spiritual Attention Deficit Disorder

Bill Kerley
