Share…For one of these! (only bummer would be I’d have to give up my morning commute coffee. Oh, and my family).

Share I have been blessed by all the comments of men and women who shared over the past few weeks regarding the Wounded Image of God.(if you haven’t, swing on by to the post to read the comments…you’ll be moved). To be honest, the response has surprised me. It was a post I had to [...]

Share Illness has crept into our family so it might be a week or so before any new posts are added here at A Mending Shift. In the mean time, feel free to interact with some great images and an essay on Cambodia. You’ll be blessed…VERY powerful stuff!

ShareI want to thank Kathy for a conversation a group of us had over cocktails in Albuquerque. This is what came to my mind as we were discussing “upper-deck people” and “lower-deck people” in relation to the church. In some churches (please re-read the word some), there seems to be two sets of people: the [...]

Share Is the number of houses I have lived in in my 34 years of life. 18 homes in 34 years. That’s an average of moving every year and nine months. Wow. That’s a lot. Though I cannot remember the specific addresses, I can visually remember each house. And in each house I have deep [...]

Share Three years ago a friend of mine lost his voice and became mute, but yesterday morning his Papa unmuted him and is giving him his voice back. That sentence may not make any sense to you, but to my friend and me it rings of Papa’s unrelenting grace and restoration. Yesterday morning was a [...]

Share Okay – this is really funny: Here’s how it works: Google “[your first name] needs” and share the first 10 results. That’s it: it is that simple. But be honest! Tag 5 or more people, including the person who tagged you, and pass it on… Here is what showed up for me: Jeromy needs [...]

Share I am intolerant. Why? Because someone told me a few weeks ago that I am. They said, “Jeromy, you know what your problem is? You are intolerant.” I was appalled. I have many problems but I was fairly well convinced that intolerance was not one of them. They continued. “Your intolerance is causing many [...]

ShareSee what Jonathan said was “one of the best videos I’ve seen EVER”; and Chad said, “This is powerful stuff…A powerful, disturbing exposition on racism and authority. A must see!”; and Tracy said, “Yeah, made me cry.” I agree with all three. Here’s the video: A Class Divided (a.k.a. The Eye of the Storm) from [...]

Share…as most of you know, is the title to Rob Bell’s newest book. I just purchased the book yesterday and plan on posting some sort of reviewy thingy once I finish it. Until then, I wanted to share my thoughts on the title and extend an invitation to you. First, my thoughts on the title. [...]

ShareI am 33 years old and I suffered my first near heart attack. I went to update my blog to WordPress 2.7 and my blog went bye-bye — EVERYTHING!! Now I could care less about my posts….it was the loss of your brilliant, life-changing, and smart-#$@ comments that got my gut. If you were one [...]

Share …Seriously, it is how I am wired, this test and my experience told me so. Here is my result for The 4-Variable IQ Test … (click to take the test and be sure to scroll down to begin) Visual 30% interpersonal, 40% visual, 15% verbal and 15% mathematical! And I wonder why I struggled [...]

Share Was it just me or did the candidates not answer the questions they were asked? They would give a one-sentence nod then quickly move onto their pre-planned spiel. I would hear a question from the undecided audience, think, “Ooooo, that’s a good question!” and lean closer to the TV with my ears inclined to [...]

ShareIf someone else said to me the things I say about myself in my mind, I would quickly be imprisoned for assault…perhaps murder. I’m sure we all would.
