The discipline of walking the wilderness road day-by-day leads us to dry places we'd otherwise resist. Yet we must cross these expanses and it's while we do that we hear what the Spirit would say to us. And realizing this will inevitably take place is the key to the joy--subdued though it may be--that we feel as we begin our expedition.<br /><br />I pray with all my heart that you, everyone else who gathers here, and those who don't will find new healing and clarity during this sacred, challenging time!<br /><br />Blessings of strength and joy,<br />TimTimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01271248501086241494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2722447614945782871.post-10018824072511724492012-02-20T09:47:39.633-06:002012-02-20T09:47:39.633-06:00I love the Mountaineers analogy. How truly wonderf...I love the Mountaineers analogy. How truly wonderful. <br /><br />"where divine love will be raised on a commoner’s cross and God’s infinite grace and mercy will flow down like water into our valleys of despair."--just a beautiful beautiful statement Tim...<br /><br />You have pointed out what I most love of Lent--the quietness, the desire to withdraw and be alone with Christ, not asking questions, not offering solutions, just being with Christ, knowing that this is where the healing takes place. <br /><br />Thank you, for this perfect lead in. As always, you are my friend. Blessings, SherrySherry Peytonhttp://witshadows.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
