isn’t that so true? I have been practicing saying the word NOW NOW to keep being present. I fail often but am capturing some present moment too. Happy Weekend, Lisa

God is getting His Perfect word out into the hearts and souls of people we do not know and may never meet. May His love and grace cascade down upon you.

I read just today in The Voice bible version (new to me) about our dustedness (my term, but the idea that we humans are from dust and to dust we’ll return–at least when we shed our mortal coil). So to walk barefoot, on the ground like A & E did in the Garden, is natural to our humanness. And so is frailty, so I prefer good shoes. 🙂 And I wonder, now that i’m so imbalanced how I can possibly stay grounded on ground? It’s tough. Now, I usually avoid walking across lawns, due to their unevenness and holes, etc. Solid pavement feels safer and I’m more steady. But just yesterday, I took the plunge, still at Michael’s elbow for support, and dared, “Let’s walk across the lawn rather than the driveway to go inside.” And we did. And in this trial of mine, which seems unending, I must recall, *especially* in my humanness, that it is the Lord on whose strong arm I must always lean and that He alone remains “the stability of my times.” (Isa. 33:6, ESV, paraphrased)

Keep walking, dearest human, barefoot and fancy free!
Love
Lynn

I’m looking forward to warmer weather so I can go barefoot on our new decks and on the springy moss we have in our yard.
Blessings, and stay grounded!

Your words today remind me how much I appreciate Barbara Brown Taylor’s work. I think the last book she published was in 2020? I hope she’ll be back soon …
