Don’t Forget to Play
Can we become so intense about our spiritual walk that we actually miss what Father is doing in our lives? Brad and Wayne examine that question in light of Jesus' repeated warnings to his potential followers that unless they could receive his kingdom as a little child, they would not be able to enter in to its reality. How can we become more childlike in our relationship with God and capture the playfulness that seems to be so important to the experience of our life in him?

Darn, we forgot to ask where he was walking from and which route he might be taking.
I suddenly had a hysterical vision of us both in sparkly tights and body suits a la Wonderwoman – except that we are both in our 50s and not as slender as we might be.
Super God-people to the rescue! To Broadstone and beyond….
And that was a week after I had had a wonderful picture of walking with Dad, giggling and just doing fun things together.
Thanks for the podcasts. They are great.
