Marketing Mystique: Retail to Spiritual

Next Step #495: Cleaning up after Thanksgiving – assessing the movement from starving to feeding. Add a day to Black Friday and find the Rich Fool. Using the dimmer instead of the binary light switch.The Apple Mystique – form and function in our Armenian Church – an opportunity to mature in faith. Desensitized by the laugh track.

Next Step #494: Thanksgiving vs Thanksgetting in post-Trump America: When Christ looks at it one way and the Church in another way, with applause. Giving/losing ego for harmony, love and peace. Revelations at two anniversaries: St. John, SF and St. Andrew, Cupertino. Finding the unfiltered Jesus at and with the First-Called Disciple. A thanksgiving look at two parables – the Rich Fool (Luke 12) and amassing wealth and a Grain of Wheat (John 12). Kosher bacon and McRibs – get your appetite ready for the holiday season. Ethics in a processed world and the “No Exceptions” rule.

Next Step #493: Imponderables and the Call of Christ especially as it pertained to the First Called disciple St. Andrew. Courage for the risk taker, a meditation for today. Spirituality without religiosity – what’s missing? The missed opportunity of the heavyweights. Emptiness and filling up. All this and more.
