I had that posted for about a week, but decided to take it down, as it gave out a little too much info about what was/is going on in my life. Sorry to break the news to you. I will from time to time stop on over to leave a comment or two, but I have to pick priorities, and blogging is pretty low on the "to-do" list. If you would like to help me, then just say a prayer or two.My e-mail address is still open for business, and I usually check it once or twice a week.

A lot of people don’t “hear” God because they’re too busy talking and saying eloquent prayers. You’re so right on that. <BR/><BR/>It’s even known to take little vacations---such as just stopping to smell the flowers. Even if you’re on your way to work, stop by a nearby lake and sit down with a cup of coffee for even ten minutes. It makes that much of a difference. We all need that. <BR/><BR/>As far as writing our souls out---a lot of people aren’t writers, and many people don’t even know what hobby they would like to go into---which is sad. There’s literally ‘no release’ and no ‘getting to know yourself’. <BR/><BR/>Meditation always works for me. It’s not only the meditation that calms me, it’s “hearing” from God; listening for that still voice.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14986475569600734742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727464.post-1153115033242325462006-07-17T01:43:00.000-04:002006-07-17T01:43:00.000-04:00Thank you for leaving me your kind and thoughtful ...Thank you for leaving me your kind and thoughtful words on my blog.

An interesting thing often happens during these times of letting the thoughts out - little nagging ones that have been bugging me take their proper place as "no big deal", or I realize that I've found a solution to a problem, or some other such thing that would likely not happen if it were not for periods of quiet reflection. I think that often when we are reflecting, God takes the opportunity to speak to us because He knows our minds are open. Enjoy your vacation, it is most certainly well deserved:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727464.post-1152681617463214262006-07-12T01:20:00.000-04:002006-07-12T01:20:00.000-04:00The prayer of silence.The prayer of silence.tonymyleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11396458619687708153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727464.post-1152667831358726902006-07-11T21:30:00.000-04:002006-07-11T21:30:00.000-04:00I think you're right about "visiting yourself".

Sometimes we need to just sit in quiet with God letting go all without. When I am busiest, that is when I need these quiet times the most even if it can only be for five or ten minutes rather than days or weeks. But I recommend taking at least a day or more off this way here and there when possible. It is good for soul, body, and mind.<BR/><BR/>Excellent writing.Tim Ricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01305530681191503858noreply@blogger.com
