The Thinker

Built with Purpose

Seasons like this, I have to remind myself of why our Father put me here. Sometimes life seems to happen so fast, I find myself playing catch-up unnecessarily. Our Father’s agenda and our agenda are often not the same; his agenda will win. Even more than that, the plans others have for us and our Father’s plans for us don’t always match either. It’s times like these that I have to re-establish my identity within.

I am a thinker, a philosopher if I’m honest. While I have been blessed with other gifts, the gift of thought is one that I prize highly. Having been awakened by the breath of the Father, I appreciate the thoughts that I have. I, like my Father, consider ways to help, heal, and bless others. What I must remember and what I want you to know is that this is my praise!

Read the scripture reference below. It, too, is written of me! I’ve been a deep thinker since I was quite small, and I’ve developed this entire website with the thought and the faith that I can make a difference in the way we approach spiritual education. I hope that you will find something useful on this site that enriches your life.

“I am a priest of the Lord and serve him as priest. I offer him the offering of his thought. His thought is not like the world, not of the flesh or of those who serve in the flesh. The Lord offers his goodness, his stainless heart and lips, his inner world that is faultless. Let hearts not oppress hearts, nor souls harm souls. Don’t bribe a stranger, because that stranger is you. Don’t trick your neighbor. Don’t take clothing from him that hides his nakedness, but dress in the grace of the Lord generously and walk in paradise and from his tree make a garland for your head. Loop it around your hair. Be happy and rest in his rest. His glory will go before you. You will inhabit his kindness and grace and be fat in truth with the praise of his holiness. Praise and honor his name.”
