August is cool

Well, it’s time for my monthly ;) update…

Still praying and looking.  Not much else has changed.  I’ve started selling stuff on eBay, and that has been fun!  I now have a UPS account :).  Feel free to check out my online stuff at http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewSellersOtherItems&userid=rockpeter.

Thoughts…

C.S. Lewis wrote: “The moment you wake up each morning… your wishes and hopes for the day rush at you like wild animals. And the first job of each morning consists of shoving them all back, in listening to that other voice, taking the other point of view, letting that other, larger, stronger, quieter life come flowing in” [quoted in Timothy Jones, The Art of Prayer, 1997].

That is our first task and our greatest challenge.  I must admit that I know all too well the rushing of thoughts and plans at the start of the day.  I am learning (again) to quiet my soul and give God my waking thoughts… and try to be open to what HE has planned for my day.
