april showers bring may flowers! the flowers have arrived, some waiting to be planted. but the showers persist. the rain is not my friend. My legs do not like to move generally, but with the dampness and rain they are static characters. I must remember each day to start over, my legs need to move, and so I walk on the treadmill, let's wake up legs, I scream to them! And so it goes, again. I always must remember my blessings, after all I have legs, when I look down they are there, I am blessed... what now lord?

okay, I'm here Lord !

It has been a few weeks since I retired from my beloved Grace Church, after serving as their deacon for 6 plus years. I knew it was time, and with the first year of my three year study of spiritual direction coming to a close, I knew the work would become a lot to handle along with my diaconal duties. And so sadly, but clearly intended I said goodbye to sitting up front, to proclaiming the Gospel, to serving the communion, to praying with those folk I love so much. And now, WHATNOWLORD?

It is hard to give up what is known for the unknown, but one must listen to the signs, one must pay attention and sometimes just jump in faith. After all, darkness and light are both the same to Him, right? I ask your prayers.
