"God's intention for each of us is that we should grow to the point where he can empower us to do what we want - then he can turn us loose on the universe!"  Dallas Willard
 "Do not worry about tomorrow. I have come that you might have life abundantly. Be not afraid."
Jesus

I love to hear Moses Mayes at outdoor concerts – my son plays keyboards!; the Winnipeg Symphony, especially when my other son plays percussion there! I like to listen to Norah Jones, Andrea Bocelli, the Neville Brothers and, I admit, Willie Nelson.

If I could be doing anything right now:
I’d be at a village market in Provence.

More about me:
“Let your incompleteness lead you to share in God’s completeness. Allow your emptiness so God may fill you.” (Quezada) I have lived long enough to know who I am, warts and all, and to know that, when there is nothing else, there is God. So, being a follower of Jesus is my vocation – my life’s work. I learn best through being part of a community of fellow-travellers.
