I found www.breadforthejourney.org, which seems to be his main Web presence and even has his calendar of events and appearances, but doesn't have a forum for discussion.

This reality underscores two things...the stuff you said, and just how "counter cultural" the Sabbath may be. If you rest, you get fired. Most big corporate jobs I have had asked me to take only 30 minutes for lunch...not an hour. There were no other breaks in the day. There seems to be no deus ex machina there...no God. No Sabbath. <br /><br />Or is it the Protestant Work Ethic rearing its ugly head. "Working for the Kingdom." <br /><br />I dunno.<br /><br />But you are right...he cn afford to take a break.GTripp Hudginshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02987346084472861229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15613334.post-75610805415847201012007-01-29T09:24:00.000-08:002007-01-29T09:24:00.000-08:00Quick answer on a Monday morning -- guerrilla bles...Quick answer on a Monday morning -- guerrilla blessing is an expression of my own goodwill towards a person or collection of people. There's no necessary third party. It's a lot like wishing someone "Happy Birthday."meeeganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03254320828371832359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15613334.post-30726454536056688192007-01-28T21:47:00.000-08:002007-01-28T21:47:00.000-08:00this is well written and thoughtful. thank you.
I...this is well written and thoughtful. thank you.<br /><br />I'm wondering how you can be okay with stealth blessings but not okay with prayer... where does the power come from to bless?<br /><br />I don't necessarily want to send you (or us) down a rabbit trail, but that was what jumped at me when I read your reflections.<br /><br />And I think you're right, Muller is self-employed, or at least thinks that way. I find myself mostly self-driven these days; had I picked this up during my experience of working under deadlines and for multiple bosses as a consultant, I might have dismissed Muller out of hand.Cristopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14172527952842063799noreply@blogger.com
