I hope you awoke feeling well,


and the day ahead goes well too.


i heard someone talk about life being a sport.


"Each day you get into the sport of it and you get through it to hopefully finish well."


i didn't go to service this morning as i need to drive a parishioner somewhere. As I drink my coffee though, I find the habit of meditation and prayerfulness comes over me and I'm starting to assess the day ahead. So often in the past I just take the day as it comes. Now I'm not just following the feels, but I'm trying to be more determining than that.


i don't know if this makes sense. A habit of prayer in the morning I'm finding to be a routine and ritual that sets me up for the day. In my childish nature, I want to be 'right ' about things (thi ings that are good for me too.) I'm just so unknowing at times that just doing my job and getting into it is all i conclude to do. There's a happy structure to that. As Arfie said ' embrace the mystery and enjoy the ride.' Have a great day you guys!

It’s so weird how i feel like i need to be like someone else to be legitimate or authentic. I just don’t have access to knowing what my feelings mean a lot of the time and i feel so alien. You guys give me a safe place to be that person. Nanoo nanoo.:)

I don’t find myself in traditional relationships. I just love my friends and family and people I meet. I don’t know if a significant other will ever happen. I’m about the team most days.

Here are some scriptures that encourage going to the Lord in the morning: Psalm 5:3, Psalm 143:8, Lamentationns 3:22-23, Mark 1:35, Psalm 90:14. I've found going to God in the mornings sets my day on a positive and blessed way.

Have a good day Mark.

Wow, Mark, lots to think about today!

I think having morning rituals do set us up for the rest of the day. I have some but am not consistent about all of them, and I need to be.

    Some things we don't talk about, we breathe them... Some things cannot be explained, but rather experienced. Some of the most healing moments arise when given the memory, acknowledging the love.One cannot go back in time; we move forward, and we carry the love we shared. No one but ourselves has the power to do so, or the permission to do so, but ourselves.So live life with your faith and...
