My Rule of Life (work in progress)

Tom Cashman, my professor for "Prayer, Practice, and Presence" had us write a rule of life. He acknowledges that it is definitely a work in progress. So here goes:

I dedicate myself to the working out of love and justice in and through the church;
To read and wrestle with Scripture in an honoring way;
To live simply so that others may simply live;
To search for the handiwork of God in people and their artistic expressions;
To move past self degradation and authentically love myself;
And develop practical ways to receive affirmation and other kinds of love so that I may give love to cultivate peace in and through me.
