RECEIVING

This Sunday morning is sunny and promising.  I appreciate the old treasures from the past that remind me of how different life has become even in my lifetime.

I have had a busy but enjoyable week.  The Secret Garden filled my lungs with frangrant fresh air.  The beauty and thought that was created reveals the potential of one person with a dream and the willingness to work to bring his dream into a reality that could be shared with all who where welcome to come

I like the Bible story that begins in a garden because it was a place where people started to think and to even question everything.  I am a person who can think my own thoughts and discover for myself the presence of good and evil.  The need for knowledge drives us out of where we are to discover what we can learn only by experience.  Who I really am and who I am becoming.

I would love to be able to linger and stay in the quiet beauty of this garden but I get hungry  and I know it is time to leave.  There is a time to leave the story of creation and to discover God as the Spirit reveals what can seem to be invisible and unknowable but waits to be discovered.

I attended the Gluten-Free Health Fair at which Dr. Freeman, an M.D. Gastrointestinal Specialist from U,B.C spoke about the complications of this disease and it's treatment and cure.  There are new studies that are being done to help understand why some of us are at risk for this condition and why healing which happens in stages  never really cures.

We live in a world that is hungry for knowledge and power and yet individually we can, or I can, be imprisioned by my own thoughts.
