meditatio at the water's edge

Smelling spring...

From somebody who grew up with his crib in the greenhouses, I have always loved spring. Flowers blooming in March & April always made us anxious for flowers to be blooming outdoors as well. We were always a bit spoiled with the sunshine pushing the temperature above 80 on regular occasions during those early months of spring. Of course, greenhouse temperatures took several months to make their way outdoors.

I'm smelling spring. I'm no longer in the greenhouses, but sugar peas got planted in the garden last week with the help of my two growing blessings (aka kids). A campfire last night felt like we're on the way to bathwater lakes and humid nights. Several friends are doing pretty well in their fights with cancer... and lots of life changes are facing the people of water's edge.

We have people considering career changes, and others well on their way in this process. We have new furniture in our space that is making things look and feel quite different when we gather, and... we continue to sense the leading of the Spirit.

Reflecting on Mark 5 and our conversation last night:
~ What a great conversation. Kathy and I came home knowing that God blessed our time together!
~ It is my prayer that you have the faith to believe that the Spirit is moving in your life this week! The Spirit moves when we have faith - experience a week of God's presence. Believe!
