The Joy of Praying with a friend

Posted on January 8, 2015 by a moment with god — Leave a comment

The only think that I experience as even better — is to talk to You with others! It is more that just “praying” with someone. It is as if each person is Listening and Responding with You “helping”. That kind of prayer is one of the most meaningful things I do. And afterwards I feel more Alive . . . more Aerated . . . more Joyful.
How is it, God, that Praying isn’t presented that way? Oh, I do wish prayer were Packaged Properly!

Good Day, God! I love water — love the ocean — and I particularly enjoy eating a meal while looking at the water. That was my hope this morning, God, as I drove off to the waterfront. The last time…

Angry Birds and the Game of Life

Posted on November 29, 2011 by a moment with god — Leave a comment

Good Morning, God! I began my day by sitting and listening in Centering Prayer. And what I heard is — It isn’t about Words. It is about Hearts. Oddly enough, that leads me into reflections on the Angry Birds game.…

Words about Wonder from the Poet Denise Levertov

Posted on October 31, 2010 by a moment with god — Leave a comment

Good Morning, God! Denise Levertov said it so well, God, in her poem Primary Wonder: “Days pass when I forget the mystery. Problems insoluble and problems offering their own ignored solutions jostle for my attention, they crowd its antechamber along…
