Building Zion
Straight Into the Arms of Christ
You know how sometimes you have a dream where the feelings are so real that, even after you wake up, they linger?. If it’s a bad dream, you hurt. It can be very intense. I had one of those dreams this week, and it…was…very…intense. I have them regularly, though not frequently, and they hurt. I […]
Be Still…and Know That I am God
Wow – to come out of that experience and try to put it into words….God help me, please. Be still, and know that I am God. Be still, and know that I am God. Be still and know that I am God. Repeated, repeated, repeated. Over and over and over. Again and again and again. […]

All that Matters
This being that I talk to; commune with every morning…this Christ – it’s so hard sometimes to get past all the things that are rattling around in my mind, things that are happening in my life; challenges, fears, joys.
