And <em><strong>despite any discomfort or darkness</strong></em> is God's Hand up against any whining or excuses from me.

I guess that's the best way to describe it. You "plumb" things really deeply. If that makes sense. Like reading between the lines of life - it's a deeper vision.

Is it anything like "saying something between the lines..."?Nancy Shumanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05584199691076992017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6509359853321953022.post-47603221412471471262016-03-30T18:12:04.533-04:002016-03-30T18:12:04.533-04:00Such a blessing that you can join in community pra...Such a blessing that you can join in community prayer, Ellen. You go into the "maelstrom," then, with God Himself!

I see this in very few bloggers but I always see this in your writing.

The longer I do that, the more I'm drawn to the discipline of community prayer. I find that covering hours of legislative hearings without first having joined my parish community for morning prayer leaves me in a void. Still a community liturgy, not quite the cloistered heart of which you write, but essential to keep me mindful Ellen Kolbhttp://leavenfortheloaf.comnoreply@blogger.com
