Mid-Week Meditation

Welcome to this week's mid-week meditation,

Friends,

We live in a society and a culture that moves at an incredibly pace where almost everything in life needs to be measured and quantified and valued against a dollar amount. We live in a time where people work themselves to sickness and beyond trying to meet the needs of that culture, however, the early church had a deep appreciation for poustinia; simply meaning a silent place of prayer. Stillness and the connection that stillness allows with God was not just a suggestion it was a deep person requirement that we have largely lost in our modern age. The ability to slow down enough to encounter and be changed by the divine. With that in mind today's mid-week meditation revolves around stillness.

We begin as we normally do.....

In Peace - Rev. Scott
