"Once we clearly acknowledge the soul, we can learn to hear it's cries. - Dallas Willard, Renovation Of The Heart."

It takes courage to pursue our dreams. It takes time and patience to unearth buried treasure. But I believe with all my heart that we must do both.

Second Monday of Advent



Isaiah 35:1-10; Luke 5:17-26

Because of God's tender mercy, the morning light from heaven is about to break upon us, to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, and to guide us to the path of peace. 
Luke 1:78-79

Light
Living Water
Restorer 
Healer
Peacemaker

"Forever Fresh and Refreshing Source, Living Water, Bright Garment of Dew, descend now and always in one endless, life-bestowing flow.  Bring to us those waters that forever quench our thirst.  Bring those waters, we pray, to the deserts of our hearts, that from their parched soil, life may spring anew.  And more that this, enable that life-giving flow to pour from ourselves to enliven all around us.  In the Name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit," (Scott Cairns - God With Us)

Amen
