My Foolish Jesus

A reflective poem wrestling with my feelings of futility and regret mixed with Christ's most powerful and redemptive choice.

Compass Exercise

I recently was introduced to a prayer activity called the Compass Exercise.  It comes from The Enduring Heart: Spirituality for the Long Haul by Wilkie Au.  It was such a tremendous exercise for me in reflecting on life and faith, that I have adapted it several times this year for my students.

This resource includes a handout and powerpoint that can be used for prayer stations, message notes or journaling.
