New Year can be a nice opportunity to commit yourself to read the Bible. It is going to be beneficial for both you and your environment. #LetsLearnToLoveAgain #ReadTheBible
This one is an excellent reading plan: https://t.co/otWjDLNmgB

I will do my best to be smart and find beauty in every tiny thing. Even in my insignificant steps.

Everything is abound in meanings.

I am here to observe, learn, understand, meet and know. And nurture the mud swamp human (Japanese) in me.

God bless.

In the breakpoint of history, in this era of crisis, I can't help but think that this is the time when everything is starting.

@Pink, I want you to know that this morning you made me cry by reminding me where I come from and where I am going. #CoverMeInSunshine has found me just in the right mood. It really is precious.

Manufactured joy: avoids the hard things involved in a life well-lived, inevitably externalizing pain/suffering via unjust power dynamics.

Received joy: walks in the path of a well-lived life, persevering thru hard times, delighting when Light shows up as surprising gift.

[George MacDonald @gmacdonaldquote]

A man must not choose his neighbor: he must take the neighbor that God sends him...The neighbor is just the man who is next to you at the moment, the man with whom any business has brought you into contact.

@germy224 @adamlorenz (and I am not sure this change is for the better)

[Mirco Boncompagni 🍁 @kickingconkers]

@germy224 @adamlorenz We having Bibles with references + super searchable online sources - they make us change the way we read Scripture. The effects of these modern tools are palpable when we read old Christian sermons: e.g. by Wesley or Luther. They are so different then ours.

I am so thankful for finally finding a nice flat to rent, affordable, nice and warm. It feels like a miracle to me 🌠

[Mirco Boncompagni 🍁 @kickingconkers]

In today's examen there is the question: can I be honest about what I am grieving?

I am grieving my false self, my fictional portrayal of myself. I am grieving my thoughts and dreams and what I have ever hoped to be.

Come, Lord Jesus, fill my emptiness.

@TheGrantHartley It's time to put Catholic work ethic on the map ;)

[Mirco Boncompagni 🍁 @kickingconkers]

The Hillsong Christmas Spectacular is obviously channelling Eurovison, completely missing the Christmas message by these overbudgeted performances.

Also, with all due respect, saying that the key concept of Christmas is giving is a bit of an understatement imo.

[Mirco Boncompagni 🍁 @kickingconkers]

Amazing indeed, with possibly the best modern Holy Night performance ever. I also liked the Mary in the wilderness theme.

@HTBChurch @nickygumbel Just to say that The Alternative Carol Service is AMAZING. Every aspect, Concept, Design, Content, Production and Artists. BRILLIANT. Well done to ALL involved. @alphacourse

[Mirco Boncompagni 🍁 @kickingconkers]

It is like:
I was "love drunk, waiting on a miracle
Trying to find ourselves in the winter snow
So alone in love like the world had disappeared
I won’t be silent and I won’t let go
I will hold on tighter ‘til the afterglow
And we’ll burn so bright ‘til the darkness softly clears"

[Mirco Boncompagni 🍁 @kickingconkers]

I think I have gone far in my journey in faith this year. The disadvantage of it is that I feel without company in celebrating Christmas in my kind of proper way.

[Mirco Boncompagni 🍁 @kickingconkers]

@UCBMedia it was a musing time listening to the carols and the readings, thank you. God bless your work.

@bsmee1 Oh, a good one :) I can just feel hundreds of years of theology foundations trembling rn.
