Where Are You Today, Lord?

Today’s scripture reading was about King Solomon – because he was a child, he prayed for wisdom and a discerning heart to govern God’s great people.   He asked for God’s Divine guidance in knowing right from wrong.   Since I first became a parent, over 31 years ago, all my prayers to God consisted of … Continue reading "…Wisdom of the Youth?"

What do you see? At first glance, maybe you perceive a ghost or goblin because you are focusing on the obvious white space.   However, if you look beyond, deeper into the negative space, the face of Christ comes into focus.   This white space can represent the obvious – preconceived thoughts  of who we already think God is.  We … Continue reading "…Search What’s Hidden"

Lunch today with a friend was very pleasant. She mentioned an older woman who decided to further her education to earn a business degree.  She used me as an example of someone who went back to school later in life when family and jobs competed for attention above studies.

I am so grateful for having had this time to be free with no time constraints, deadlines, home/pet care responsibilities or any of the … Continue reading "…On The Seventh Day"

My God, halfway through my vacation and I just don’t want it to end. There is no burden or anxiousness, just peace and freedom to enjoy the sights and the sounds of each beautiful day. I am feeling remarkably like my whole existence has slowed down to an enjoyable, carefree pace.  Either my perception has changed … Continue reading "…Your Personal Eden"

Prayer holds everything together – physically, mentally, intellectually and spiritually.  It our most powerful weapon against everything in this world that seeks to separate and destroy. Pray. One thought, one word, one Name, one sentence, one paragraph, one tear, to the One who hears all.
