An Open Invitation “All you who are thirsty, come and drink.” ISAIAH 55:1, NCV The most incredible invitations are not found in envelopes; they are found in the Bible. You can’t read about God without finding Him issuing invitations. He invited Eve to marry Adam, the animals to enter the ark, David to be king, Israel to leave bondage, Nehemiah to rebuild Jerusalem.

“May you be blessed to know that the best way to do is to be.” In Corrogue I am practicing “the art of being.” This is a disciplined practice. As part of this practice I spend each day writing what I refer to as “Zen Pages.” This is writing four or more pages of reflections in the moment. I am blessed when these reflections mirror an experience of flow. This allows my hand to simply move across the page and the writing “to be.” This is my way of “doing” the writing.

Knowing what is right and what is wrong in your own inner consciousness is insufficient. It is not the knowing of truth that transforms a person; it is the doing of truth that has an impact on you and on the other people that you interact with...
