Chance Encounter?

Last week, we ran into a couple of friends

No, it was not an accident, but it was "by accident"

Or perhaps, by God's hand

Yes

Hadn't seen these friends for quite a few years, I'd say

It was entirely unexpected timing that brought us together

Didn't really get to spend a whole lot of time with them

Perhaps 5 minutes?

But in those precious minutes...

My heart was refreshed and encouraged

My confidence was renewed

And a sense of direction was strengthened

How wonderful indeed

And I am thankful

Pause to Pray

We've been getting together through the summer, every eight days

It's really quite simple

A simple meal of hot dogs and whatever side dishes come along

Then, it's prayer

That simple

For over an hour, we'll pray

Whatever comes to mind

Simply pray and wait and pray

Confession

Praise

Intercession

Simply pray and wait and pray

It has been refreshing

And a blessing...

Pausing to Pray

Travels

I'm baaack...

I've been travelling a bit lately... quite a bit.

Travelling is always nice... and I like to travel.

But there's no place like home... there's no place like home.

And so I continue to travel... and look forward to Home.
