The Sanctuary
There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope at your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God  and Father of all, who is above all and through all and in all. Ephesians 4:4 (CHS)

Roller Coasters

I love roller coasters. The way my stomach jumps on the way down...that's the best! It's always slow and quiet on the way up, and then the thrill comes just over the peak. It isn't that way in "real life" though. In my life, I always enjoy the ascent to the top and dread the descent. I've noticed an uneasy trend in my musical life: I get really excited up until the show, and then afterward, I'm really depressed.

It is somewhat of a tiredness mixed with a "what next" type of mentality. So, sometimes I wake up in the morning and curse myself for being so lazy and at the same time encourage myself that I can only take it one day at a time. I've been wanting to write some more songs, but for some reason I'm in a rut. Hopefully, I'll get out of it soon.

Well, hopefully my next post will be a little more light-hearted. Until then, be blessed. MS

      Mary Helen,

      Perhaps sitting in a "sanctuary" of sorts might help.

      Why not have the sun shining on your face? or the evening breeze flowing through your hair? or feel the cool mist of the ocean? or smell the freshly blossomed flowers around a meadow? or maybe just stare into the night sky where there is still many lights amidst the overwhelming darkness?

      The wonders that this world can create and imagine (such as a too-soon-to-end roller coaster)never compare to all of His wonder.

      Holding a mirror to our life's journeys may provide the inspiration needed when descending into a valley.

      How far we come!

      How far He takes us!

      The thrill does not have to end if we pay attention to the ride.

      Now, just look and listen.

      Rut Help,

      CORRECTION:

      The word 'lights' is plural; therefore the sentence should read: ...there are still many lights...

      Forgive the Faulty Grammar,
