Seeking an experience of the divine in every day life.
Our bodies and our minds are connected to things that are unseen. We experience the intangible in ways we do not understand, and we call it the spiritual. As an ordained Christian minister, I find my favorite conversations center around the depth and diversity of our spiritual experiences. As a person who believes in the Kingdom of God, I seek to work with the mysteries and revelations carried in the uncontainable light of others. Only together can we begin to grasp the immense possibilities of what could be.
