thoughts from August 2

Greetings from the Dripolator, a coffee shop in Black Mountain, NC.  I’m sipping on a triple macchiato and studying up on some info about Prayer.  What a daunting task.  It makes me think of standing in the foothills of the Rockies or the shores of the Pacific and expecting to know all of it.  As I was overwhelmed with these thoughts another came to mind.  Why stand with the mountains before me or the ocean ahead of me and worry.  Why not find excitement and seek the opportunity to explore.  At times, my perspective has been “well, I don’t understand it so I should give up.”  But now I want to change my perspective to “look at all I have to experience!”  I encourage you all to join me in the excitement of these expressions.  Join me in the adventure of discovering prayer. 
I’ve realized in my time away how much I care for you all.  There have been (and probably, will be) times when I think to my self, “I wonder how so and so is doing?”  I’ve been praying for all of you.  I pray that God will continue to step in front of you and guide you in your steps.  I pray that the steps God guides you through will lead to a deeper understanding of his role in you life.  Pray for each other too.  Pray for us too.  May the Lord, who is rich in mercy, continue to guide us.  May his will be ours. cheers.
