TICKING CLOCKS IN ROME During our visit to Rome, I’ll never forget the day we were in transit on foot and I passed a shop with many pendulum ticking clocks in its windows.  Being a very hot day,  did not affect the fact I had to rush to the front our group and whisper to our guide Luca, “would it be o.k. if I stopped for just a bit?”  “Did you see something? He ask. ‘Yes!’  I said, and…..

 IATP’OS / The Great Physician   On every page of the gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke, Jesus is forgiving sins and healing.  Many disease’s he calls out, heals and then command’s  “Go and sin no more.” In the Garden of Eden there was no sin, nor disease.  Jesus would not have had to come, nor die in Eden.  God walked in the Garden of Eden, but that communion was broken, in the Garden of Eden. The tree of Good and Evil…..

“For the preaching of the cross is  to them that perish foolishness;  I  will destroy the wisdom of the wise, not many wise, mighty and noble are called and no flesh shall glory in his own presence…”   “That, according as it is written, He that glorified, let him glorify the Lord.”   1 corinthians 1:31  Danny wondered as he set across from God in prayer and ask, “through all these years God have I, do I, am I falling…..

  Pursue our Prayer’s Yes, but Do it in Another Manner*   “Pray without ceasing, But there is a  living to be made so to survive.  Would I not be classed as an infidel and not keeping care of my family properly?  I cannot always be in the act of devotion;  would it not produce madness, the  imbalance of important commitment? We must, therefore change the modus or the manner of operation if we are ceaselessly to continue in prayer……

  Alone Sitting in the garden alone,  the fragrance of each rose pedal enhance’s the mind and comforts the heart.  Resting from a long day  man thinks and too believe’s,  all is well with his soul.   Gazing across the high mountains, the warm sun slowly disappears into her set,  as she whisper’s good night. The rocks soon cool as darkness will block the path home. In this place peace and solace seem to live continually and share with all…..

If you lived next door I would knock and have something delicious you couldn’t refuse or I’d come often and you’d feel guilty and let me stay awhile. I would gain your trust that you would talk to me and then I would listen.. I know you have something I need.  Why do I say that?  Because there is a burning in my heart and it won’t go away.  If I told you this, I know you would smile and…..

I’ve Been Contemplating   I have been contemplating this conversation for some time now, pondering on the right words to say.  Setting it aside is what I often did, that is until a friend requested a favor and I knew it was time,I knew now what I had to do… contemplate- to look thoughtfully for a long time at. to view, regard, examine, inspect observe, survey, study, scrutinize, scan, stare at, eye, take a good look at; literary behold Contemplation…..

A good shepherd always precedes the flock, to discover the greenest patches of grass and the least stony path, so does Jesus ever keep in front of the soul that trusts and loves him.  It is our art to allow as small a space as possible to intervene between his footsteps and our own. We must be willing to be led. There is so much natural impetuosity in us to shoot on in front and “prospect” for ourselves. Is that…..

I got a phone call yesterday asking me a very important question and now I ponder on it in my mind? “I need God, how should I pray?”  “When do I pray to God, or to Jesus or to the Holy Ghost?”  Well that’s a good question and one of good desire. I remember myself wondering the same question and seeking out what to do.. I’m not a professional of any sort, but I am curious, and like to know…..
