Life is a journey which we begin at birth. Each of us begin our journey in a particular place and time but we all travel on the road called life which is a gift from God. On this journey each day we learn something/s hopefully including some wisdom which brings us happiness, joy and peace.

A new routine on Sunday morning
It is 9:13 A.M.on a Sunday morning. I am sitting in my family room looking out at the water on the little lake to the back of the house, drinking coffee and listening to a very meditative piano music of Dr. Jihye Chang. The last time I did this was so..........long ago, I can't remember when.
I did love being so very busy on Sunday mornings going to church early to listen to people, take part in worship, to converse, to bring a smile on as many people as I could, to listen some more etc.etc. It was all very very good.
It turns out that Being Quiet at home on a Sunday morning is very good as well. Will is in NC, I am really quiet, no noise in my head - even. I can feel my tensed up nerves stretching out slowly. For them to be totally stretched out again may take time. It's alright because I have nothing but time.
Later I will get my self to a church to sit on a pew with others to worship. Today I begin feeling my new title in the Presbytery, "Minister Member At Large". Quite funny,I think. I actually like my new title very much. It seems a very suitable title to have in TEXAS of all places. I think a cowboy attire completed with boots/hat would go very well with my new title. Again it is "Minister Member At Large".
The Psalm for me today is:
Ps.116: 1-2, 11-14
" I love the Lord, because he has heard
my voice and my supplications.
Because he inclined his ear to me,
therefore I will call on him as long
as I live.
What shall I return to the LOrd
for all his bounty to me?
I will lift up the cup of salvation
and call on the name of the 'lord,
I will pay my vows to the Lord
in the presence of all his people".
Later in the afternoon, after a nap, I might do some more things like experiment with cooking new dishes in the kitchen. Or take a walk. Or paint colour on water. Or call friends. Or read. Or just be still in silence for fun. Who knows? The day is mine - a gift from God.
