May 31-June 2 ..Women's Retreat at Round Lake. pm me for a brochure. This is a beautiful place to " Be still and know that I am God". Jesus still invites us to come away for a while and find rest.

Looking for land in Northern Medina County for a retreat center. As C. S. Lewis once said, " you're never too old to dream" (Ephesians 3:17-20)

Be still and know that I am God.

From time to time, a reader will send me a few words I wrote years ago, along with a comment. I always learn from the latter. But when I see my own, long-forgotten words, it’s like doing an archeological dig on my own life!

Sometimes, as I examine those artifacts, I think, “Wish someone had told me to deep-six that idea!” Sometimes it’s, “Well, OK, but I wish I could go back and edit my younger self!” But every now and then I think, “I’m glad those words came back to me today. I need them now even more than I did when I wrote them.”

I felt that gratitude earlier this week when a reader sent me this quote from my 1999 book, “Let Your Life Speak.” We live in an era of non-stop reminders there is much we can’t control, no matter how hard we try. We live at a time when it often seems clear, in the words of Yeats, that “the centre cannot hold.”

But there are gifts to be found on the other side of those chasms. “True self” can come into view, and we can learn that “the sacred center” is everywhere—not least in our own hearts.

With those discoveries comes the personal and collective power to keep on walking toward the elusive goal of the Beloved Community—as human beings have been doing for the whole of recorded history...

Welcome to the pilgrimage that has no end!

Years ago I attended a group leader training with Shalem Institute. This morning they posted this quote by John O" Donahue, "May you experience each day as a sacred gift woven around the heart of wonder". The God Sighting is that the gift of "wonder" has been on my heart and in my mind...so that we "don't miss a thing" as Zach Williams song says (Less Like Me is the song). So may we each pursue a heart of wonder, that child- like sense of seeing the beauty all around! God bless your day! And Happy Birthday to Sarah, one of our greatest blessings!

Praise God for the gift of wonder...to really see the beauty in one another and in all created things. Step outside to see what gifts God has waiting for you!

Pay attention to the little things....God has lessons hidden there if we are open; willing to stop and listen.
