Personal Insights Into a Conversation with God

By Change, Christians, Church, Encouragement, Faith, Vision

Getting out of town always provides me with time to develop new thoughts. Often I get into such a routine at home, that I don’t stop to just reflect, ponder, think and dream. I have to be alone, totally removed from my normal comfort zone it seems to really slow down enough to reflect. Yesterday, between sessions, I went for a long run along the Lake Shore Drive.

In fact, I wonder if learning how to balance our emotions between the extremes isn’t the normality we are seeking, rather than periods where everything is calm.

You can read more about their history HERE. This is one ministry that went to work immediately and is making a huge impact in the Haiti disaster.
