This is a link to a podcast interview with the "non-guru" of personal development, Greg Voisen.  Our interview took place on August 3, 2007 and focused on purpose for life and work. 

From Greg Voisen, "Fifteen years ago my life was certainly not balanced. I was constantly
working and was not paying attention to my health or my family. I was
on a collision course and headed toward self destruction. I was in
tremendous personal pain and really did not know where to go or who to
turn too."

Anne’s Confirmation

By

Today, our daughter Anne, was confirmed at All Saints Episcopal Church in Winter Park where we’ve attended for twenty three years.  Standing behind with hands on her stood her godparents and parents as Bishop John Howe laid hands on her.  In the Episcopal tradition, babies are baptized and received into God’s kingdom in this sacrament.  Godparents commit to help rear the child in God’s way until the child can make a mature commitment to Christ and seeks to receive the Holy Spirit.  So to have her godparents stand there brings both a closure of sorts for them, but a beginning for Anne.

Here is what the bishop says as he laid hands on Anne:  Strengthen, O Lord, your servant Anne with your Holy Spirit;
empower her for your service; and sustain her all the days of her
life. Amen.

He makes the sign of the cross upon her forehead (as was done in her baptism) both recalling her baptism and affirming her decision to step into her ministry and calling in maturity.

As I step back and think what has taken place in the spiritual realm… it takes my breath away!
