Please pray that a good woman J. will receive many more calls and messages with offers of a home for a cat whose owner is seriously ill and cannot care for her. She will freeze to death on the street, but the shelter will euthanize her. Only a short time left. s. Pray for pet safety, protection and home. Thank you
Joy indeed. Joy – or happiness – is a funny thing. We tend to think that when we have enough good things in our lives (when we have the stuff we need or want, when we have the relationships we need or want) then we’ll be happy. But it doesn’t typically work that way...
I want to invite you to close your eyes and picture your hurt – the ways you’ve experienced pain and hurt in the church, maybe generally or maybe very specifically or even recently – picture it as an actual wound on your body.
We often fill this space with a lot of words and a lot of thoughts, and in that, sometimes we can miss the presence and beauty of God so often found more deeply in silence, in stillness, in the quiet spaces...
