40 days & 40 nights: A Journey of Prayer and Contemplation
I was blessed at birth And have struggled to reclaim the blessing In my innocence, I was loved unconditionally Simply for being me,

Every so often, I put out a "musing" that is a guide to my writings and videos. It's that time when churches make plans for their program year, so this is a good moment to share links to my materials for worship, study, and spiritual practice. Use freely. All I ask is attribution!
We tune our hearing to silence. We wait on the source of being. Our minds release the roar of thoughts.
