HOW TO EMPTY AND BE FILLED #4, Monday Morning chat - It's okay to fail (and a PS)

In this video, I teach you a Quaker practice called Centering Down. This practice is also VERY helpful with worry and anxiety. I first learned about Centering Down back in the 70s from Richard Foster. Here's his absolutely wonderful book about spiritual disciplines, Celebration of Discipline: https://amzn.to/3wU49ew By the way, I almost always read e-books these days (other than "real" books). This is one of the few that I would recommend getting a hard copy of.

Scriptures used in this video:
I Peter 4:12: “Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery trial when it comes upon you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice insofar as you share Christ's sufferings, that you may also rejoice and be glad when his glory is revealed.”
John 10:10


Here's an excellent article that I found about Christian meditation. I love what he says about Scripture seeping into our DNA! https://tommythompson.org/meditating-chew-and-cud/


About wallowing in our failures -- I'm the queen of that! It's something I'm really working on!

⁣The book we're using for another study (Right Brain/Left Brain Bible Overview): https://amzn.to/3wPhsOg Yep, this will be for adults. We talk about the Bible stories, how they relate to other parts of the Bible and how they can help you live your life in Christ!

Here are the neutral colored gel highlighters ("adult crayons"): https://amzn.to/3MopRx6
Here are the other (brighter) highlighters that I'm using: https://amzn.to/3vkC54m
And the newer gel crayons that I showed recently, but am not yet using: https://amzn.to/3GmWidB

In yet another study, we're using a Bible study guide that goes with my novel, Now It Will Spring Forth. You can get the e-book version of the novel here FREE: https://dl.bookfunnel.com/es49ch5nyr (And if you like the book, you'll be able to get the sequel free, too.) If you prefer a paperback copy, that's here: https://amzn.to/3wRVnim The workbook for the study can be found here: https://amzn.to/3lKNNj2 or feel free to just write in your notebook or journal.
