Julian Of Norwich: Grounded and Rooted in Love
Also in this He shewed me a little thing, the quantity of an hazel-nut, in the palm of my hand; and it was as round as a ball. I looked thereupon with eye of my understanding, and thought: What may this be? And it was answered generally thus: It is all that is made. IContinue reading “Julian Of Norwich: Grounded and Rooted in Love”
The Three Desires of Julian of Norwich
When Julian was a young girl, she expressed to God three desires: The first was minde of his passion; The second was bodily sickness in youth; The third was to have of God’s gift three wounds.

My Karma Ran Over Your Dogma
As we work through the first book in the iMonk Book Club, Tullian Tchividjian’s Glorious Ruin, we are finding that this book really is not so much about suffering as it is about God’s mercy and grace. So where does suffering fit it to the mercy and grace God wants to give us? We allContinue reading “My Karma Ran Over Your Dogma”
