- Going to pot in a big way
- The soft clay that a potter starts with has to be worked quickly, because it soon becomes dry and hard. How flexible are you?
- Do you feel that God ever finishes with us?
- Think of some a time in your life when you had to change. Was that change called for because you were in a bad place, or just because it was time to move on?
- How can we be more flexible?
- Convincing God
- When you have had something that you prayed for, that really, really mattered to you, how did you pray?
- Do you think that God wants for us to pray for things that are life-giving?
- How are we supposed to learn what those are, for us and others?
- How do we learn to pray with confidence?
- Pray for perserverence
- As we age, our focus changes, hopefully gets sharper, life gets simpler.
- Looking forward to the last few months of your life, however far away those might be, what do you desire most from God?
- Not knowing how you are going to go, how can we prepare now?
- Be alert, the world needs more lerts.
- The world that we live in is awash in a sea of information. You can follow a limitless number of twitter streams, facebook is everywhere, there are more news feeds than I can count. How much of that is really necessary for us?
- How do you tell what really matters, and what is just noise?
- How can we shut out the chaff from life without losing touch with those that we seek to serve?
Preparation for Reconciliation:
- Do I have an attachment to anything? A person, place, thing, job, ...?
- What do I know of God's desires for me, for others?
- How am I building strength for the journey in my life today?
- How am I simplifying my life?
