Between now and Saturday morning I need to prepare to share my current prayer practices. The practice of prayer waxes and wanes like the moon, there are times of great joy and beauty quite like a lunar eclipse. And there are times of dryness quite like this last summer here in Texas, it was HOT … Continue reading Over the Weekend
Prayer: Our Deepest Longing Review & More
Getting to the end of a book that I'm enjoying is difficult because in someway there is a sense of a friend moving on to a different place.

Looking: Still Waters run Deep

I have a ginormous pressing surface that … Continue reading Coffee with God June 2023
