Silence

I spent a restful weekend with someone who loves me. It was a silent retreat with God...and eleven other guys.  I enjoy the silence...it fits me and my introverted nature...the silence helps cover over my lack of social skills. 

I don't know why God loves me but I know He does. He has proven it so many times, in so many ways...not even to mention the "the big one". So I'm glad to spend this time with him away from the rest of the busy world, the TV and all the other people that intimidate me with their worldly high expectations.

God is petty cool...he doesn't expect much...just love him above all and love my neighbor as myself. Two Simple rules for a too simple me. 

Thank you, Lord Jesus, for this time

For this time that is so sublime

Give me the courage to be the light

Give me the strength to win the fight

Amen
