Fall has fallen

Once again God's great cycle has returned us to the time of Autumn. All around us the fields are offering up their harvest, leaving behind the remnants of their fruitfulness.

This is also a season of dying. The trees will begin to drop their leaves, fields will lie in wait. All too soon winter will be upon us.

Now is a good time to reflect on what our own harvest has been. What have I produced this summer that will provide nourishment and sustinence for others. I don't mean physically alone but emotional and spiritual as well

I ask you to consider this and offer your own reflections in return.

August musings

It's been awhile since I have posted anything. This is the time of year when many things change to a different pace.

God has created us to both work and rest. Somehow, one of these has overshadowed the other in our society. That's too bad because it has a negative effect on our spirituality.

Have you ever heard someone say, " I don't have time to pray." or " My work is my prayer.?"These and similar attitudes fail to recognize the need God has instilled in our very being for quiet and rest; re-creation. Without rest and quiet, we are too busy or too occupied to listen to God spek to us. We make a decent effort to speak TO God but how often is it a monologue with us doing all the talking.
Rest & quiet have great value and are an essential part of any mature relationship with God.
So I hope you find a time & place for quiet this Summer and throughout the year.
