We've begun a new text.  I know, not exciting news... normally.

However, I do sense that our little Sunday Morning group (Bible Basics, 9.45) is embarking on a journey in prayer exploration (The Way of Prayer, Companions in Christ, Upper Room Books).  I am eager to hear what our 5 or 6 folk have to share this Sunday.

In my own silence, serendipitous insights have sprung from our text's observant invitations.Particularly today's exercise #3.  "Think back over the activities of the past week.  Where were you most aware and least aware of God in the midst of your business?  When did you have a sense of acting in concert with God's spirit? Jot down your memories in your journal.

"What would be your response???  Post here or Facebook me. Please, allow me to share my celebration of God's presence with you from my prayer journal.   

"Sometimes, I feel very close to God in conversations with other folk.  God inhabits the praises of His people, and, in my experience, he often takes up residence in his people’s conversation.  Is this what Wesley considered Holy Conferencing?  It's both intensely intimate and tremendously cosmic. 

We reach out to the Spirit who is already stretching toward us like ancient starlight.  When we all meet, the wisdom is there.  It is not light from my own eyes, but the primordial truth leads us, chattering creatures, illuminating a new way of being.

In your exposing and gracious light, I am crude and ignorant, cherished and blessed."

Have you ever felt this old and renewing Wisdom?  When? How?

The Wisdom of Christ Guard Your Hearts and Minds!
