Often they cloud your entire life. In the face of any challenge you do not have to be alone. There is hope even in the toughest time. It is when we are at the lowest point that we are the most open and unguarded... a time to hear and learn.  Our defenses are totally crumbled.  We are now reachable.  We are now teachable.

As I woke this morning I heard the silence around me. There was a stillness in the room. A peace.  The past weeks have been filled with family, plans, life and death. Thoughts tumbling through and fragments and phrases of past conversations. For once this morning things were not competing in my head to be recognized.  I found a stillness that contained a pure peace.  I decided to try and hold this peace through out the day. Not sure how far I will get, but I will try.  I need to learn to release those controlling thoughts. The quiet power of this peace will bring me the ability to make this day with out worry.  I have much ahead this day and God alone will guide me th...
