We are all on the way Home to God's heart. These writings are about what I see as the second journey, the one that follows our first years of following Christ. It is personal with a design in the travel that is to lead us into His great love. May you be encouraged here...
About Me
- Rich Wilson
- Better than 40 years of pursuing Jesus has brought me to the posting of this site. Better than 30 of those years in full time ministry. A few years back, I met Jesus in a way that changed everything. It undid me. It has been perhaps the hardest season of my life to date. Some of that will be expressed here and refected in the thoughts, observations and messages. It is my hope that you will in some way, by visiting here, find more courage to embrace your own journey Home.
The Local Journey
If you on the central coast for some reason, feel free to contact me about our local group of travelers. We would love to have you sit with us and share in our journey together. We gather around meals, worship and ministry most every weekend in some form or another.
That's Rich @ 805.459.3605
Much peace to you!

rich, i was eager to finally see what this new blogsite was all about, and as i take my first glance upon this opening desert scene it is all too soreal, as i sit here pondering this thought: I stand here on the hilltop looking past the desert graveyard wondering, have i perhaps just come from one of many journeys and am venturing into the valley below or am i about to walk through yet another season of dying".
as i find a difficult season joyously coming to a close, yet another journey begins. this time affecting many loved ones on many levels helping my wife's beloved mother walk through the threat of terminal cancer. wondering what could have possibly had prepared me for such a time as this? then suddenly the father shows me the many times he has brought me through so many desert journeys and says "this is how i have prepared you". now go and give hope to those who need.
in my experiances i have found that "finding the goal", is not at the end of the journey. rather receiving the goal is "walking through the journey with HIM".
rich once said something to me very simply "we don't die well, do we?" for whatever reason that phrase keeps coming up whenever i am faced with difficulty. and now, some years later i can finally answer his question........no, we don't
grace to you all in this interesting season of journeying with HIM, johnny
With HIM.. its true.
and it sounds so wonderful yet amazingly difficult to make practical, for no we don't die well. For me I have difficulty reconciling the pain of death and him. For it is my perception/belief that I can't experience him and pain simultaneously for his presence should banish all pain.. right? Not if we want to meet him in that most sacred place of intimacy, his sorrow.
