I Am So There

There are two things that soothe my soul these days, three places where I find some much-needed grace and peace…

At a Barnes & Noble on a Friday afternoon, a cup of coffee in hand, perusing the recent releases and the latest bargin bin deals. My reward for a hard week’s work…

Near the end of a Saturday morning 10-mile run, when the endorphins hit my bloodstream with a mighty roar. Natural opiates–a gift from God…

Kneeling at the altar rail of an old, liturgical church, hearing the priest say, “The Body of Christ, the Bread of Heaven; the Blood of Christ, the Cup of Salvation.” Heaven come down to earth…

I am so there.

    Just leave out that ten mile run and I’m right there with ya.

    You could bike it if you like! The main thing is: just move, someway, somehow.

    That’s what I like about walking forward to partake of the Eucharist. It forces me to get up off my ass and puts me in a position where I have no choice but to repent, think humble thoughts, and receive–like a child.
