Well, the things that have been plaguing, okay not plaguing, but maybe annoying my mind are:

1. What is down in the well, comes up in the bucket.

I hate to think about the words, thoughts and deeds that emanate from my life - and be reminded of this. Yet the mosquito on my mind keeps buzzing about this. May I more often rely on that old eternal well of real life, that genuinely quenches my thirst. Lord, help me abide there.

2. We live on the boundaries of our own lives, confusing edges with essence and mistaking the superficial with substance.

I too often skim through life and live at the circumference of “who I am.” This has been bugging me for a while. It would be great if I could say - the circumference is EVIL and disdain it… but of course the boundaries - bound me in - they are part of who I am. We are called to become more than skin and sensation - God calls us to a greater awareness (dying to ego and becoming alive in HIM) and to BECOME. So I have been challenged to go beyond the surface, to the center of who I am. May I begin to embrace with acceptance and vulnerability the person God has made me to be. Father help me in the silence to embrace the core of who I am.

Hey if you think of perigrinatio in the upcoming days… pray for me and the youth workers of the Free Church as we take a few days to rest, refresh and reload.
