I’ve been walking with a “spiritual limp” for some time now. I have been the mountain top in the past, spoken face to face to God and been enveloped by the cloud of Christ’s presence. But I have also spent many long nights in the Valley. I have crawled into the cave with Elijah many times and waited for God to pass by or whisper in that still small voice (1 Kings 19:9-18) only to hear nothing but my own deafening doubts and insecurities bouncing off the walls of my mind.

It’s been very cold around here, and our walks involved several layers and some hats and some scarves and some strong, warm boots. But it’s refreshing too. And always good to arrive back home into the warmth.
Sorry to read of the passing of
Hank Aaron. A friend of mine played a year with Hank and they called him “Sup” as in “superstar.” He was that good.
ATLANTA (NewsNation Now) American baseball legend Henry “Hank” Aaron, who became one of the sport’s most iconic figures after beating out Babe Ruth’s home-run record, has died, the Atlanta Braves confirmed on Twitter Friday. He was 86.

It’s a question that needs to be asked: What kind of person do I want to be or to become? Not how successful do I want to be? Which lead to a different question:
What do I need to do now to become that kind of person? Which leads to another question:
What most shapes me now in being the person I am? Better question:
Who is shaping me most? Who do we want to be like? [In writing this I got a notice from my computer how much screen time I spent this week – it was down 32%! Does it want me to bump it up? It turned off before I could even read the whole notification.]
