In a world… so out of control, what superpower would you like to have? Invisibility? Flight? Read minds? Turn toilet paper into money? Here’s the problem: 1. You’ll never get any of those powers. 2. They wouldn’t actually fix much anyway. Here’s another ‘aha!’ You already have the superpowers you need. Like understanding the universe. No kidding! Okay, that’s a pretty audacious claim, but let’s take a look at the ‘unknowable’ future and your ‘unpredictable’ life. You may be surprised.

What if  the world was really all about what your heart hoped, not what your head feared? What if the clenched fist mobs on Good Friday were the delusional ones and the bewildered, wide-eyed people on Easter were those who saw things like they really are? This Easter we invite you to experience an alternative vision of the world that is as familiar to your soul as it is ancient in its origin –and, by the way, its about a love that will not be stopped. WARNING: This is disruptive to the status quo. The message was in two parts by Stephanie Vos and Greg Meyer.
What’s the activity I can hear going on during the message? What you hear is yarn from dozens of skeins attached to the cross being pulled out and handed to people in the front rows and then continue to be pulled further and further until they reached the back rows and connecting everyone cross. The room was becoming more and more of a web of yarn. No spoiler here: It's explained at the end.

Look over the edge, deep into the well and what do you see? Your reflection. Look deep into forgiveness and what do you see? Yourself. Forgiveness in a relationship is not fixing or letting someone off the hook. It’s about you and your heart and what it means for you to love even when it’s not lovely. Forgiveness is hard and worth spending some time on.

In the Tree (Mar 6): You were made to be awesome! It’s the truth! No more apologizing for what makes you great. When we truly learn how to value ourselves and see the value in others, we become people who light up the world and invite others to do the same. It’s time to claim your brilliance!

Jessi shared her "Love Letter" with Jacob's Well on February 21st.

“Love is patient, love is kind…” What does it mean to be patient in love? Are we supposed to put up with injustice and wallow in our suffering? Or, can we practice allowing the other person to be just as they are, extend them acceptance, and stay with them when times are tough? This week we’ll be learning how to build our capacity to linger and listen to those we love, instead of rushing to fix or solve.

“In Love…” we do certain things, and we don’t do some other things. One thing to do is compassion. It’s not just feeling sorry, it is something deeper, something that tugs at our insides and leads us to action. Compassion weaves us together and makes the world a better place. That doesn’t mean it’s easy. It’s worth pausing and taking a look at what compassion is and how we grow our capacity for it.
