Prompt
“Get all you can. Give all you can.” – John Wesley
On Writing
Breathe the sentence in. Exhale the sentence. Inhale and exhale each word. Now inhale and exhale the sentence. Then, go!
There is only one rule, keep your hand moving.
Don’t worry about grammar, spelling, or punctuation. If you feel stuck, keep writing anyway. Try going back to the prompt and write it out until other words arise, then write those—or, repeat the last word you wrote again and again until new words appear—or, write, “I am stuck,” or “I can’t think of anything,” as long as you keep your hand moving. Writing is physical, the words will move through your body and come out of your hand—just keep it moving.
Now go – for five, ten, fifteen minutes . .

“Get all you can. Give all you can.” – John Wesley (5 minutes)
We only have one life. Yolo. I want to breathe in as many experiences tall, small, broad, big, deep, and beautiful. I want to die knowing I lived life to the fullest… knowing I gave it all I’ve got and held nothing back. I want to squeeze the effervescent juice of existence for all that it’s worth and all that I am. I don’t want to be buried with my fears but rather with memories of those I’ve loved so hard and so big and so passionately, without regard that it was ever too much. I am all I am and I will give everything I am with the deep knowing that everything meant for me is to be. I have faith that this journey is unfolding with the passion and pain that fuels the great wise. I live, I learn, I grow, and I peace peace peace piece together the cosmos, leaving nothing, disregarding nothing, including it all. Breathe breathe breathe again. Inhale to the fullest, exhale to fullest. Here we go!

John Wesley was a wise man. His mother, Susanna, was an amazing woman.

I was reading a book and the authors quoted him saying he was wise.
Did you know his mother?
How are you?? (I’ve been a bit wrapped up with my mom, but doing ok. Staying curious)!

No, unfortunately. Susanna died in 1742. You should look her up. She raised and schooled 20 children. John and Charles Wesley, besides starting the Methodist Church, quite unintentionally, were prolific writers, wrote early dictionaries, and Charles Wesley wrote over 9000 hymns. You know some of his songs.

This is what the book says – has his dates in there. I didn’t focus on that. :)
John Wesley (1703 – 1791) a man of great spiritual insight as well as practical ability, when he was asked what basic counsel he would give to his followers on the subject of money, replied briefly: Get all you can. Give all you can.

Makes sense. He didn’t go along with the poverty chic that Christianity has championed. How can you give to the poor if you have no money to give? It’s no surprise you might not know about John Wesley and especially Susanna Wesley. Surprisingly, few Methodists know anything about Susanna, and they often only know a little about John Wesley.
“Hark The Harold Angels Sing”, is probably Charles Wesley’s best know hymn. Although the fist line “Hark! The herald angels sing,
Glory to the newborn King” was changed by George Whitefield and John Wesley when they were putting together a hymnal. The original intro was “Hark how all the welkin rings, Glory to the King of Kings!” Charles’ original line was more biblically accurate as there is no account of angels singing in the Bible.
