Comments for Morning Meditations http://mymorningmeditations.com When you awake in the morning, learn something to inspire you and mediate upon it, then plunge forward full of light with which to illuminate the darkness Fri, 24 May 2013 16:41:08 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ Comment on Behaalotecha: The Journey of Grass by James http://mymorningmeditations.com/2013/05/24/behaalotecha-the-journey-of-grass/#comment-9667 Fri, 24 May 2013 16:41:08 +0000 http://mymorningmeditations.com/?p=27484#comment-9667 It’s one of the things that makes me believe Calvin was “stuffed full of muffins,” so to speak.

Everyone at the conference was as gracious as can be. The love was tangible, the teaching was enriching. I had an internal feeling of being an observer (not fully a participant) of something I long for, but cannot have, by virtue of my social context (birth, marriage). I ask myself what is the right path? Should I just quit longing? Or to press forward and attempt to journey toward a full participation in an ekklesia that is increasingly defining its boundaries to exclude people like me? How do I fulfill a longing in my heart for an expression to Hashem in this earthly existence? There are many others like us – something seems off and I’m not sure what it is.

Blessings on your head.

This post caught my heart and expresses far better than I ever could that each and everyone of us belongs a rather large and eclectic family…. so if we are family – we should all play nicely together.

SHOULDN’T WE?!!!!

It must have leaked out of my head. A mind is a terrible thing to waste.

I enjoyed our talks as well.

It’s all for the best then that you were “fashioned” to write (and He certainly gave you that gift!). My lovely daughter said she told you a while back, so I just figured you knew. Anyway, it was fun visiting with you.

For some reason I never made the connection. Good think I’m not a private detective. I’d starve to death. :-P
