[Note: I'll be blogging the Tulsa Metro Association (The World's Most Missional Association) Annual Meeting on Wednesday and Thursday. It is not a LIVE blog (does that make it dead blogging?) but it will be fairly extensive. I will not blog the reports in detail. You're welcome. I will blog the interaction with Frank Page [...]
Almost done now. The Spiritual Disciplines Blogging Crew hosted by Joe Kennedy has but four measly posts before our long journey is done. Check it out. Confession. I remember vividly when I found out what the word “confession” actually means. You see, in our culture, we equate confession with the telling of something unknown – [...]
Check out the full crew of Spiritual Disciplines bloggers at Joe Kennedy’s fraggelriffic blog, Word’s Are Not Enough: Live from New Orleans. Every person is a leader. We all lead, but the question is always “Which way are you leading?” Another pertinent question is “How are you leading?” 24When the ten heard about this, they [...]
Joe Kennedy’s list of bloggers blogging the Spiritual Disciplines. Submission. Well, I don’t know anybody who is really good at this. We all have a bent toward our own selfish motives. It’s the sin in us that desires that we have what we want at the exclusion of what everyone else wants and even what [...]
Consider here the traditional toss to Words Are Not Enough: Live From New Orleans from Joe Kennedy. There you will find a list of the bloggers and their subsequent posts on the various Spiritual Disciplines to date. Gracias. Solitude.

As always, check out the full list of bloggers who are blogging the Spiritual Disciplines at Joe Kennedy’s blog, Words are not Enough, Live From New Orleans. Silence. I have an amazing dynamic tension between silence and noise. I can’t concentrate with noise. I do so much better when I have silence. Even soft music [...]
As always, check out the other articles from those folks blogging the spiritual disciplines at Words Are Not Enough, live from New Orleans; aka Joe Kennedy’s blog. Simplicity. Hmm. Frankly I’ve never really pursued simplicity. It is not that I don’t think it worthy. Just the opposite. I think the simplistic lifestyle is a very [...]
As always, check out the others blogging the Disciplines at Joe Kennedy’s place. I was first introduced to the concept of Journaling in seminary when I read Bill Hybel’s book, Honest to God. It was one of Bill’s first, if not THE first, and it was my first introduction to a guy who would become [...]
Study. I guess it should be said that proper study is of the Word – our canon of Scriptures. I am not against the reading of other things inspirational, but would not define such as a “discipline.” Learning styles, I think, dictate how we best study the Word. Not all are good readers, which is [...]
As always, you can check on the updates for others blogging the Spiritual Disciplines at Joe Kennedy’s place. I agreed to write about fasting for two reasons: 1) I have done it on numerous occasions as part of my Spiritual Journey, and 2) I am terrible at it. I thought you might have the benefit [...]
