I watched a documentary about World War II on television a few nights ago and even though I lived through it and participated briefly in military service near the end, it seemed almost unreal, like a dream.

Prayer: It’s Wireless

By Robert C. Frank
in
28 weeks 1 day ago

Without a connection to God, the source of our existence, our lives are like boats without rudders in a restless sea. We live our lives with fuzzy and ever changing goals. Countless pages have been written about prayer and yet we still have much to learn. God doesn’t answer prayer in a loud baritone voice, or by email or Facebook, but in the subtle events of daily life. more»

Prayer has been the one true spiritual constant in my life. My first prayer was “Now I lay me down to sleep” and even as a child, the words seemed so powerful to me. In my innocence, I always knew that God was listening to me and I trusted him to take my soul if I died during the night. Some thing in me always knew I was going to heaven and would be safe. I slept well. The constant prayers of a child kept me for the past 47 years. It is rare that I have a sleepless night. more»

Stillness comes to each of us differently. Our desire must be to honor our inner stillness. This honoring of stillness increases with meditation, awareness and practice.
