My job centers around sales in the commercial insurance industry and can be stressful at times. On even the best days, I can find it easy to slip out of touch with God. If you have been in a Christian bookstore lately, you might have seen DVDs for sale entitled "Nooma". The name is derived from the Greek word, "pneuma" which, as you know, means, "breath" or "air". The Chinese equivalent of "pneuma" would be, "Chi".
As I am driving between appointments, I have found these videos and audios help me to center my thinking back to where it should be. I also think they could be used as great conversation starters. Coincidentally, the name of this video is "Breathe". Enjoy Rob Bell.

Unbelievable!!! I cried. Thank you so much for posting that.
This reminded me of Daniel 5:23. It has been instrumental as I've thought many times about being an ungrateful child of God.
The NASB says: but you have exalted yourself against the Lord of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of His house before you, and you and your nobles, your wives and your concubines have been drinking wine from them; and you have praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood and stone, which do not see, hear or understand. But the God in whose hand are your life-breath and your ways, you have not glorified.
Your posting made me think about this life-breath in a different way.
Thanks
A great reminder of two things for me: (1) God's omnipresence & (2) the image of God, though corrupted by sin, is present in every person - believer or not.
