meditation

I recently heard someone explain the primary difference between New-Age and Biblical meditation...

The purpose of New-Age meditation is to find a state of nothingness by clearing the mind completely whereas Biblical meditation is the filling of the mind ...I believe, with that which is true, pure, lovely and good. Found in intimately and purposefully connecting with God.

God is a Gator

My Dad always said "God is a Gator (fan). We know because sunsets are blue and orange."

I still totally believe him.


I really love the SEC. The haters from elsewhere are simply jealous. No group of teams can compare. Let's be honest.

But!! Within the heaven-inspired SEC conference, Gators are the bestest. (Yes, I said bestest)

My husband, an avid Alabama fan, doesn't stand in unity with me on this one.

So, December 6th we'll show him. I just know it!!

Holiday

This Thanksgiving holiday was spent quite different than most.

In the beautiful mountains of Colorado, cozy in a friend's home, disconnected yet so engaged... peaceful and still. A gift.

I've taken many deep breaths, allowed my imagination to roll with the wind, gazed into the beauty around me... all while intentionally connecting with God.

What is the lesson? I think the soul needs to continually be at rest ...not only from the activity of producing but also a simple inner contentment... like a perpetual state of stillness of the heart. Perhaps a key to the full life.

And, taking a ton of Sabbaths... a must. ; )

We pass up the opportunity for rest ...many times in the name of opportunity, or for the strengthening of relationships, or to build - something. Always noble, indeed.

But rest is also a gift to be intentionally enjoyed and received.
