Showers of Mercy (rerun)
Surely Goodness and Mercy will follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of God forever… ~~Psalm 23 Hello all 🙂 I’m going to be off the grid the next several days, but I wanted to do another 2010 post before I leave. It seems like a good time for a few “best of” posts, so here ya go… It is interesting to me that I originally posted this one in July, but I won’t have to change a single word for it to be applicable again today. A lot of folks are having a rough time right now, it’s been a deep year for a lot of people. I...

“And God declares, I will restore you to health and heal your wounds…” ~~Jeremiah 30:17 A few months ago on the Blessings Blog, I started a conversation about distance healing. In the first post, I talked about science and research regarding distance healing.

I do know how to pay attention, how to fall down into the grass, how to kneel down in the grass, how to be idle and blessed, how to stroll through the fields,which is what I have been doing all day. Tell me, what else should I have done? Doesn’t everything die at last, and too soon?

“To confront a person with their own shadow is to show them their own light…” ~~Carl Jung This is a story about fear, about our choices and ultimately what we are responsible for in our lives…To what do we owe ourselves and the Other, whomever that may be?  How do we face our fears? If you like this story and the following questions, I wrote a post on the Blessings Blog called Smiling at Fear, about how we face these choices and deal with these inevitable situations in our lives.  If you are interested, you can find that here. I got this story some time ago from...
