If you’re like me, you love this world. Its people and landscapes sometimes take your breath away. And, seriously…did they really think that I would buy into this “you have a heavenly home, so don’t worry about this one” formula? You will find none of that here.
Thriving Among the Lilies is a tapestry of local inspirations and lessons hard learned. What does it mean to live locally as a global citizen? What does a radiant life look like in a post-Christendom, post-industrial city? How can I live simply in tune with the sacred earth? What does it mean for a human to fulfill their destiny? That’s what I think about on a daily basis.
I have seen more places on this earth than most old men. I wake up every morning thinking about building vibrant global community. I work all day sometimes catching glimpses of it. I am launching into a PhD on Early Christianity, having just finished the equivalent in Formative Spirituality. And let’s be honest, trying to maintain our radiance, living in 3D, often leaves a wake of disappointments and debunked expectations.
So in my few years, I have collected a few things in four subject areas that I’d like to share with you. I hope you take the opportunity to share back. Lovers of Nature. Students of Scripture. Global Citizens. Authentic Spirituality.
I also invite you to write a post-card and link into my events. Write me a post-card on your thoughts about all of this. Submit a message, or send me a picture (send these to my email: kmjagger@gmail.com). If possible, I will either post the note on the front page or use the picture in a blog post. And, on my Events page, you can link into some of my upcoming speaking arrangements and presentations.
How refreshing it is to find someone else who disagrees with the “not of this world” message. I love your four subject areas. Looking forward to your future posts, and glad I stumbled across your blog this morning.
Hey Christina,
Thanks for the note. It is nice when chance connects similar lives.
I hope to post every day this week and ever other day after that. I see you have a nice blog too!
