NOTES

Here are one man's notes. Reply to this posting and we'll add your insights.

• Jesus comes to us first. He always initiates.

• Jesus knocks on our door but the doorknob is on the inside.

• I can tell I'm growing; if I'm growing more compassionate, more peaceful, and less afraid.

• Pray, "Spirit, my spirit."

• Ask the Holy Spirit for help before you go to sleep each night.

• Franciscan atonement theory is, "I died for you to show you how much I love you." Not, for example, "I demand a bloody sacrifice."

• Tell Jesus you love him. Love requires mutual recognition.

• Metanoia: Change your way of perceiving.

• Listen without thinking.

• The Creator loved us enough to become a creature.

• If you're lucky in life, something might break. Let that lead you to Christ.

• The first step in salvation is self-knowledge.

• Even the stillborn can be baptized with tears.
