Wise Words on Wednesday: The Book of Nature
Believe me, you will find more lessons in the woods than in books. Trees and stones will teach you what you cannot learn from masters.

Music Monday: Drawn to you
Here’s the single released last week from Audrey Assad, “Drawn to you”:
All my devotion is like sinking sand
I’ve nothing to cling to but your sweet hand
No clear emotions keeping me safe at night;
Only your presence, like a candle light.
After everything I’ve had
After everything I’ve lost
Lord, I know this much is true
I’m still drawn to you.
I pour out my sorrows like a precious oil
I kiss your feet, Lord, with a holy joy
My tears an offering of my highest praise;
Your eyes say ‘welcome.’ I receive Your gaze.
After everything’s been said
After everything love costs
Lord, I know this much is true
I’m still drawn to you

Friday Frivolity: Ending of the fast…
In the Eastern Church, Advent is seen more as a penitential period and therefore involves fasting. Man, I’m glad that’s over…
Only a month and a half and we get to start Lent. Yaaaaaaaaay….
