Prayer is my breathing You in my Heart and then You breathing out.

Prayer is a friend enjoying time with a Friend.

Prayer is God finishing your sentence and beginning the next one.

Prayer is unloading my guilt, fear and sin onto He who already bore it.

Prayer is "bringing the pains of earth to heaven’s door."

Prayer is at its best when you run out of words.

Prayer is when You hug me and I can make You smile.

Prayer let's God peel the scales of self from my eyes to see others and their pain.

Prayer opens me to see the glory of God rather than the power of evil.

Prayer let's me touch people around the world with the power of God.

Prayer makes me homesick for heaven, a place I long to be.

Prayer is telling God before anyone else.

Prayer is releasing Gods' holy power into a fallen and broken world.

Prayer is the source of power, grace, love, faith and hope in Jesus Christ.

Prayer is humbly admitting I can't and that I need God.

Prayer is God's way of helping us to love our enemies. It is hard to hate someone you are really praying for.

Prayer is God's attempt to remind me everything He did was so He could walk with me again.

Prayer is despair seeking hope and joy expressed to He who is the source.

Prayer is revealing your heart to He who knows it best.

Prayer is how God makes you more like Him.

Prayer is how you touch the glory of God!

Prayer is sitting in your Daddy's lap!

Prayer in not something a Christian can do but something we must!

Prayer is more than what you do, it is who you are!

Prayer is freedom for the prisoners, healing for the sick, love for the lonely, and life for the dying.

Prayer is our introduction to God and who we really are.

Prayer is how we discover who God wants us to be.

Prayer is my attempt to reach God who already reached out to me.

Prayer is when the Trinity is experienced as I pray to the Father, by the Holy Spirit in the Name and authority of Jesus Christ!

Prayer unites me with those I pray with in an intimate way.

April 3, 2018 Tuesday “But Mary stood outside by the tomb weeping, and as she wept she stooped down and looked into the tomb. And she saw two angels in white sitting, one at the head and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain. Then they said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them, “Because they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid Him.” Now when she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there , and did not know that it was Jesus. Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?” She, supposing Him to be the gardener, said to Him, “Sir, if You have carried Him away, tell me where You have laid Him, and I will take Him away.” Jesus said to her, “Mary!” She turned and said to Him, “Rabboni!” (which is to say, Teacher). Jesus said to her, “Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, ‘I am ascending to My Father and your Father, an

September 3, 2017 Sunday             Even after a long Saturday I was able to go to Asbury and receive Communion and to worship my Lord and My Love.   We stayed for Sunday School and Peggy had a great lesson from Dr Kalas’ book Parables From the Backside Volume 2 .   A great class, a great teacher and a great book.               In the afternoon I tried to sleep but just was able to rest some.   VERY worn out by being so busy but it was good.   Bonnie remembers when we would visit Gramps, her grandfather; he would say that he would enjoy the memory of our visit for weeks.   Now I understand what he meant.   So many wonderful memories nourish me every day.

May 19, 2017 Looking back             As weeks turned to months the memories grew and even connected together.  A dark memory from my time in the Navy connected with a dark memory from my childhood.  Each one as I explained to my counselor and to Bonnie had a “ghost” with it.  A person who seemed to haunt my life.  Watching the news connected to a memory and suddenly I could smell, taste and see the memory and it became more real than my daily life.              At the same time I was growing weaker and the pain in the body was increasing.  There was a general weakness that began in my fingers and toes and moved upward more rapidly in my legs than arms.  The cramps became an agony and happened at least two times a night.  Lasting for about an hour each time I became more and more sleep deprived even with my C-Pap machine.             I contacted my Staff Pastor Parish Relations person and the District Superintendent to let them know about the trouble I was having as I was sl
