Babysteps keep coming
Prayer and meditation have an important part to play in opening up new ways and new horizons. If our prayer is the expression of a deep and grace-inspired desire for newness of life--and not the mere blind attachment to what has always been familiar and “safe”--God will act in us and through us to renew the Church by preparing, in prayer, what we cannot yet imagine or understand. In this way our payer and faith today will be oriented toward the future which we ourselves may never see fully realized on earth.

Babystepping continued. . . . .
Great and rare is the virtue of those who do great things without becoming conscious of their greatness, whose holiness is manifest to all but to themselves.
Bernard of Clairvaux, On the Song of Songs, Sermon 13:III.

FARMStrong babystepping back
Quote for Monday
"The secret of a Christian’s life is that the supernatural becomes natural in them as a result of the grace of God, and the experience of this becomes evident in the practical, everyday details of life, not in times of intimate fellowship with God. And when we come in contact with things that create confusion and a flurry of activity, we find to our own amazement that we have the power to stay wonderfully poised even in the center of it all." -Oswald Chambers posted by John David Walt | at 8/27/2007 05:32:00 AM | 2 comments

FARMStrong Mourning turns into . . . . .
Been a really really tough month. But I'm coming back to the heart of worship. This one is helping me turn the corner. I turned out to be the 54,319,396th viewer of this YouTube treasure, the most watched in the history of the site. I feel like such a laggard. Hat Tip to Anthony Shelton for the referral. This one is called "The Evolution of Dance." posted by John David Walt | at 8/02/2007 10:49:00 PM | 6 comments
