So one of our Core Values here on the Isle, is to look for truth and beauty in the weirdness all around us… Like this delicate little flower on my back deck, still somehow hanging on in the dried up, crispy, forgotten flower box. It’s a stunningly beautiful afternoon as I write, the kind whereby that […]
Read More The Weird TruthI am not so very good with word pictures. But I LOOOOOVE beautiful places: oceans, lakes, streams, waterfalls, puddles, anything involving water, really… and mountains, valleys, hill and dale, even deserts with all the flora and fauna that comes with it…Oh, and if you can converge any of the above with a stunning sunrise/sunset/thunderstorm/swirlingclouds/puffyclouds/crystalbluesky…all the […]
Read More Who Do You Think You Are?John Eldredge has made some pretty bold, unapologetic statements in his career. Statements like, “Men are seeking a battle to win, and adventure to live, and a beauty to rescue”, or how about this classic- the Gospel was not meant to be a “sin management” system… The man pulls no punches. And, agree or disagree, […]
Read More PODCAST! Heaven is not our home? What??? Talking Eternity with John EldredgeOne of my all time favorite movie lines (benchmarked by how often I find occasions to insert it into every-day conversation) is from the ultimate chick flick, sing along with Bette Midler tear jerker classic, “Beaches”. It’s when the divine Miss M, in an attempt to deflect and nurture her narcissism all at once, says… […]
Read More PODCAST! Conquering the ME Monster and Living for Another with author Brent GambrellSo what does it reeeally mean when someone says “Bless Your heart”??? Take the Country-fied Catch Phrase Quiz I gave author Amy K Sorrells, and find out how much of a Southern smarty pants you are. And while you’re here you might as well stick around for an honest chat Miss Amy (as they say […]
Read More PODCAST! Amy K Sorrells: Storyteller & Unofficial SouthernerI don’t like to brag, but well, I know people… who know people. In fact, one of my good friends was once a stand in for Elizabeth McGovern in the hit 1980’s John Hughes film “She’s Having a Baby”. (here’s the scene where she stood in… I think!) You know what this means, don’t you? […]
Read More You Don’t Know Me…I had the chance to talk with Shari Rigby the other day. Despite her success as a model, actress, director and author, she assures me she fits in among the misfit crowd, so we let her in, cause that’s how we roll around here. It was a great chat about a number of fascinating things, […]
Read More PODCAST! Shari Rigby…EXTRAORDINARY MisfitOne thing about us misfits, is that we often feel like no one gets us. That, after all is the essence of misfittery (yes, that word will work in Scrabble, or you’re playing it wrong). It can feel lonely. But sometimes, if we’re brutally honest with ourselves (and seriously, why would we ever want to […]
Read More Strange Solidarity…Join Mitch and me for a great chat about the movie All Saints, the true story that just so happens to have happened to him! https://www.logospost.com/home/2017/8/20/misfits-refugees-and-all-saints-chatting-with-michael-spurlock
Read More PODCAST! All Saints. All the time. With Mitch SpurlockHello! Thanks for stopping by the Isle… I’m so glad you’re here, because this blog is for you, and for anyone else who might feel, at one time or another, like a Misfit. “And what exactly do you mean by Misfit?” you ask. Fair question. Let’s just make it real simple and say that […]
