You have been given 525,600 minutes a year. Are those minutes a never-ending chain of meaningless moments or is each minute you live intensely and rapturously alive?
Some live lurching from moment to moment! Others live hanging on the spur of the moment. Some one day at a time. But some live "in the moment."
To live in the moment is to recognize a moment is such a way that you become aware of the gift of God that you are experiencing.
In fact to live in the moment is to live "in the Spirit." When a moment is energized by the Spirit it becomes whole, holy and eternal.
To live in the moment is to capture and frame those moments in such a way that for eternity the caption reads "God was here."
Living in the moment is an "art." I long to be a great artist who lives great moments for others to enjoy! And through that beauty be inspired to create their own art of "living in the moment."
This has become for me the essence of being "Spirit filled."

By loving us, God makes us lovable.
What do you call a soldier without an army? (Deserter)
What do you call a child without a family? (Orphan)
What do you call a fish without water? (Dead)
What do you call a Christian without a Church? [all the above]
The Church is the powerful forming or shaping of God's People to establish His kingdom on the earth. QDM
"Not all who wander are lost!" JRR Tolkien
True, whole prayer is nothing but love!
St. Augustine
To journey without being changed is to be a nomad,
To change without journeying is to be a chameleon,
To journey and be transformed by the journey is to be a pilgrim.

THE QUOTE OF THE DAY
(St. Augustine)

St. Augustine
To journey without being changed is to be a nomad,
To change without journeying is to be a chameleon,
To journey and be transformed by the journey is to be a pilgrim.
(Mark Nepo, The Exquisite Risk)
In every encounter, God asks "Adam, where are you? Where do you stand? How is it with you?" To answer this question, a person must be willing, lucid, transparent. Once someone has left behind the habitual prayers of childhood and has entered into the personal encounter, there is no way back. He must live in the light of God and expose and entrust himself to the light ever more unconditionally. (Adrienne Von Speyr)
