Our world gets busier every day & too many Christians are finding themselves stressed out burned out and exhausted because they do not know how to balance their lives.  This blog explores the rhythms God intends us to live by and discusses how we can find a peaceful pace in a hectic world.  It is based on my book GodSpace: Finding a Peaceful Pace in a Hectic World.

The mustard seed house is a small Christian community in Seattle Washington  This blog was created to enable us to share with others who are interested in community living our rhythms of life, our activities and our struggles.  Our foundational values are sustainability, hospitality and balanced rhythm of life. 

Feeling Close to God in the Graveyard

Submitted by Christine Sine on Fri, 06/26/2009 - 17:07

Just after I posted my last blog post I came across this very moving article by Christopher Heuertz, director of Word Made Flesh.  Visiting the graveyard is obviously a spiritual practice that has a great deal of significance and provides a deep encounter with God for Chris.

The Death of Idols

Submitted by Christine Sine on Fri, 06/26/2009 - 13:01

Yesterday two well known Hollywood celebrities died.  In the morning we heard about the death of Farrah Fawcett most famous for her role in the original Charlie’s Angels series.  She died at 62 after a long struggle with cancer.  Then in the afternoon many were shocked by the sudden death of Michael Jackson touted around the world as The King of Pop.

Editing your Life: The Spiritual Discipline of Editing

Submitted by Christine Sine on Sun, 08/09/2009 - 19:16

I am sitting in Sydney on a beautiful but crisp winter’s morning watching the rainbow lorikeets out in the trees.  My Dad’s funeral is over and I will head back to Seattle in 2 days time.  I have been very aware of prayer and the grace of God in the midst of this.  Thanks to those who continue to submit articles for the blog series What is a Spiritual Practice by the end of the week I should be back to posting daily.

Driving as Spiritual Practice

Submitted by Christine Sine on Fri, 07/31/2009 - 10:19

The weather has cooled down considerably here in Seattle and everyone feels that things are back to normal.  A little rain would be appreciated – yes we do have days and in this case months without rain in the Pacific NW.  The garden is flourishing but definitely crying out for a good soaking.  However as most of the vegetables don’t like the heat any more than Seattlites do there will be few squash or beans to harvest over the next few days.  Probably just as well with me getting ready to head to Australia

Smoking to the Glory of God

Submitted by Christine Sine on Tue, 07/28/2009 - 21:20

This evening’s article comes from Jason Clark. Founding Pastor of Vinyard Church in Sutton UK.  He is currently working on a second doctorate (P.hD) at Kings College London.  He blogs at Deep Church

I am not quite sure how Jason had time to write this as his family is struggling with swine flu.

…why do most people experience God outside church in the world, whilst Christians see only prayer, bible study, and going to church as spiritual practices, for knowing and experiencing the death and resurrection of Jesus?

Yoga & Jesus: This is a spiritual practice

Submitted by Christine Sine on Thu, 07/30/2009 - 19:35

I continue to be challenged and stretched by the ways that people connect to God and to Jesus Christ.  The posts below are by Christina Whitehouse-Sugg.  I found them particularly intriguing because of my growing interest in Christian meditation and as you know I am also passionate about Henri Nouwen.  I feel that we have too easily dismissed the practices of other traditions because we think of them as non-Christian and yet God created them all and it is not surprising that we can use them to connect to the God revealed through Jesus Christ

Between the Sheets: Sleeping as A Spiritual Practice

Submitted by Christine Sine on Mon, 08/03/2009 - 10:11

I will be heading out to Australia this afternoon but am hoping to continue posting while I travel.  The submissions continue to arrive which is wonderful and I am enjoying reading them before I post them.

This morning’s post is from Teri Peterson a presbyterian pastor who loves her new bed (which might have inspired this post).  She also likes cooking and used to live in Egypt.  She blogs at Clever Title Here

This is, of course, very obvious when you actually think about it, but I hadn’t stopped to think about it before and so was surprised:  we spend fully one-third of our lives sleeping.

Living in Transition as Spiritual Practice

Submitted by Christine Sine on Wed, 08/05/2009 - 19:32

I am now in Sydney Australia after what has been one of the easiest long international trips I have made for a long time.  I even slept for several hours on the flight which makes me very aware of the fact that people have been praying for me.

Today’s article comes from Guy Chmieleski who is a follower of Jesus, a husband to Heather, a father to 3 small children, a friend to many, a relatively new blogger (check out http://guychmieleski.blogspot.com), a wannabe triathlete and the University Minister at Belmont University in Nashville, TN.

Spiritual Discipline – Serving At the Pantry

Submitted by Christine Sine on Thu, 07/30/2009 - 10:34

Well yesterday afternoon all my good intentions went out the window.  I had expected to post another of the excellent articles still being submitted for the series on What is a Spiritual Discipline but two things happened to change all that.  First the temperature in Seattle climbed to an all time record of 103 F so Tom and I decided to take our golden retriever Bonnie to the doggie beach for a swim.  Even for those like me who enjoy hot weather this is a little much.

The Spiritual Practice of Getting Honest with Myself

Submitted by Christine Sine on Wed, 07/29/2009 - 11:21

The temperature here in Seattle might reach 100F today and even for someone like me who loves the hot weather this is a little much.  The garden isn’t too happy either.  The tomatoes and beans stop setting fruit and of course anything that isn’t being watered is shrivelling up and dying.  All that to say there is a reason I am a little later than usual with this post this morning.  However it is worth waiting for.
