slow down

May your weekend

find you slowing down

and turning off your engine

‘Be still, and know that I am God!

   I am exalted among the nations,

   I am exalted in the earth.’ 

Psalm 46.10

sneak peek friday - july 20

it is friday

time to peek 

into studios

mine and others

yet today my heart is heavy

words won't come

prayers rise like incense 

beauty found in those

i love

held close

reminded that they matter

to me and to God

make loving others your art today

make a difference every day

smile at a stranger

look in the eyes of others

and love even when it hurts

Remember to visit Jennifer and friends at Studio JRU

a prayer for today

http://www.ivarhagendoorn.com/photos/series/fishing-nets-6

We confess 

that we have been so busy 

with the mending nets 

that we have forgotten to go to fish.

Make us today fishermen 

so that even if 

we come back home 

without fish 

we will be happy 

because 

we have fed a lot of them. 

For Christ sake.  

Amen. 

(Diocese of South Western Brazil)

 ‘My grace is sufficient for you, 

for power is made perfect in weakness.’ 

So, I will boast all the more gladly 

of my weaknesses, 

so that the power of 

Christ may dwell in me.

2 Corinthians 12.9
