Hey Everybody,

Well, I took the summer off, for the most part, and I am now back to work and feeling terrific.  I was reading the Taize website yesterday and came across a bible quote that spoke to me.  It was referring to silence and prayer, "I have calmed and quieted my soul, like a weaned child with its mother." Like the satisfied child who has stopped crying and is in its mother’s arms...”  I was moved by this statement, still am.  I loved the idea of being satisfied and contented and I was wondering how often I have felt that in my life.  How about you?   Imagine a day where you felt true satisfaction.  The peace and love would simply pour forth through you.  What a remarkable thing.  I believe there is too much fear in our world and if we take time in silence and prayer we can begin to still the fears and expand into love.  What a world it would be if we all took time to pray and meditate, time to sit, relax and BE.  Hmmm!  I would love to be part of that world.  And so I begin again today to take time in the silence, today I choose to be peaceful, today I welcome solitude.  

Peace and Blessings, Rev B
