Solitude
Solitude is experienced differently than simply being alone, or feeling lonely, or of course isolation, which is I suppose the opposite of solitude. The ability to be alone before God, to simply be in the Eternals presence has to be grown into, a slow movement into the depths of the mystery of existence. Boredom often… Read More ›
Holy Thursday: The meal
So simple bread and wine the common food of common people, so everyday, yet a staple needed for life. He took the bread, broke it, the wine also in its simple cup, saying, this is my body, broken for you for the remission of sin and blood, eat in remembrance of what I am about… Read More ›
The great forgiving

A wall
Sometimes life takes on the texture of a low grade horror movie. With pain lurking deep below, felt, but numb; because of the depth from which it flows.

Contradiction

Something to think about: Life review
There is however one aspect of the “Near Death Experience” that got my attention from the beginning, and has been something that has intrigued me ever since. It is not the tunnel of light, nor the so-called communication from dead relatives or other entities, as interesting as they are, nor the prophecies, some of which… Read More ›
Bright flame
Sometimes it can’t be helped, two world views collide, for many reasons, some too deep to understand. Yet we still try, rifts come into play, words spoken, emotions flare, and two people walk away from each other thinking the other wrong. Sometimes the divide is simply so wide that no bridge can be built, the… Read More ›
