Lenten Journey: Holy Week

A friend said her Lenten exercise is a twenty-minute walk and talk with Jesus.  Now I walk as well; I try to pray, but after a few phrases my mind
      skitters            goes sideways          blanks          shakes out empty.

After half a block I reel it in and start all over again.  A few thanksgivings, then

      meanderings      desperate pleas     veers to the left        more empty shakes.

Today I will walk; the snow is melted off the sidewalks; I will try to skitter less and be in His presence more.

But wait:  I am in His presence all the time, no matter what state I am in.

Comforting
   
      Overwhelming  
       
            Forgiving    
         
                 Belonging    
             
                      PEACE
