graced-all-over: November 2011

http://graced-all-over.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html

Friday, November 25, 2011. Hope you had a good day. Our daughter learned this poem, which I got from a friend, and said it as our prayer for the meal. She also dressed up as a little pilgrim : ) We made this cool turkey craft you can see on pic. We had fun creating the feathers. We got the idea at http:/ familyfun.go.com. Give thanks to God for God is good. Give thanks to God for all Creation. Give thanks to God for family and friends. Give thanks to God for food to share. God's love lasts Forever.".

graced-all-over: February 2012

http://graced-all-over.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html

Sunday, February 5, 2012. I want to sort of change the title to the poem below. Walkin' in the Spirit doesn't quite fit because it's not necessarily true that by walking in the Spirit we will have a good-everything-fall-into-place day. So many times walking in the Spirit, or attempting to, means lots of opposition and problems and heartache, down here. That is my prayer always, that He alone would be my strength and stay. Just reading them like poems can be encouraging. Here's a good one about all this-.

graced-all-over: January 2011

http://graced-all-over.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html

Wednesday, January 5, 2011. Those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires." Romans 8:5. I want to live more and more with my mind set on what the Spirit desires. He is the Counselor, the Comforter, the Helper, the Spirit of Truth. I can turn my mind toward him and receive the strength and encouragement I need, anytime. Pretty great. He accepts me, my mess, brokenness. He silences the accuser and showers me with hope.

graced-all-over: October 2011

http://graced-all-over.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html

Friday, October 7, 2011. Wow, I can't believe I wrote the last post a month ago. How time flies. I tell some of them they are my "slightly" older sisters, not that age is that important.But years (and years of suffering) can teach many things. So I honor them for the lovely giving spirit they have. We have never met face to face, but I feel we know each other and are cut from the same cloth. What a blessing! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Greatest Potential Distraction – 8 quotes by Thomas Merton’s book – Thoughts in Solitude | Culture of Imagination

https://markvotava.com/2015/07/04/greatest-potential-distraction-8-quotes-by-thomas-mertons-book-thoughts-in-solitude

Connecting spirituality to everyday life. Greatest Potential Distraction 8 quotes by Thomas Merton’s book Thoughts in Solitude. 1 No longer held together by love. 2 We have to risk everything. And sooner or later, if we follow Christ we have to risk everything in order to gain everything. We have to gamble on the invisible and risk all that we can see and taste and feel. But we know the risk is worth it, because there is nothing more insecure than the transient world. 5 My life is a listening. Then every...

Laurel Jeanne's Blog: Bends Toward Justice

http://laureljeanne.blogspot.com/2010/07/bends-toward-justice.html

Sunday, July 18, 2010. This phrase gave hope to so many during the years of the Civil Rights Movement. This phrase gives me hope. It gives me hope personally, and in how I view the world. Namely, in the balance of good and evil in the world. The arc of the moral universe is long, but bends toward justice. God always bends God's own hand toward justice. That's the hope of believing in Christ. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). There was an error in this gadget. View my complete profile. Blogs where I Sni...

Laurel Jeanne's Blog: May 2010

http://laureljeanne.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html

Saturday, May 22, 2010. Saw this on Yahoo, and then on a blog site I frequent. It's kind of catchy. Now, if I could only stand on the vanity like that. :-). Enjoy. Links to this post. Friday, May 21, 2010. One more class article. I remembered. He loved tennis, and was part of a league, winning first place in his experience and age bracket. My mind went to the cross. Did the cross come from his missionary work in Russia? Did the other items have some semblance of specialness? Links to this post. Time will...

Laurel Jeanne's Blog: June 2010

http://laureljeanne.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html

Wednesday, June 30, 2010. Have you ever been reading a book, and then come across something that deeply moves you? Something, where you might say, actually out loud, "Gosh, I want to remember that forever." The something provides a certain resonance that gives a pause, an awakening to something deep in your soul. I had that experience this morning while reading a book I started last week, Open Secrets. By Richard Lischer. Open Secrets. The church year had a rhythm, and so did their lives. The New Testame...

Laurel Jeanne's Blog: Sunday Prayer

http://laureljeanne.blogspot.com/2010/07/sunday-prayer_25.html

Sunday, July 25, 2010. From the book, Stumbling towards Faith. Your love does pull at me. If i am silent with myself. I feel it,. As much as i feel my blood, my breath,. It is there, as present with me as my own self. If terrifies me, this love of yours. What does it expect in return? What will it demand of me? What part of who i am must i sacrifice for it? How much of me will be lost? I am afraid of losing what i have left. So much has already been taken away. So much i never gave,. Where was your love?
