Running With The Spirit

   To all,
      I have decided to not continue the "Final Year" blog that you were receiving last year and replace it with a weekly offering that will focus on various growth ideas, poetry, articles, along with anything that may be of use to our spiritual life. Let me know of your feedback and what has perhaps moved you to gain a greater sense of God's Presence in your daily life. Feel free to interact and share what is happening in your heart, your interior self which is the source of What Is Real, The Spirit Within. 
   (On this blog words capitalized are references to God and God's movement in the world.)

   The pictures here will be mine unless I otherwise note where they may have come from. I will once again offer links to worthwhile audio presentations songs, sites, and any items that may be of use to developing emotionally, spirtually, and physically. 

    Talk with one another, share the Graces you have received from a Loving God, your ups and downs, anything that would be useful to another. The Gifts we receive are meant to be absorbed into our hearts and shared with others. Let us not criticize in any way and allow our thoughts and feelings to find a safe place here.

              Find a quiet place and rest awhile


   Two items for listening: (Click on the links to hear.)

       Joanne Shenendoah and a song sung in her Native American tongue about The Peacemaker being born in each of us.
