These have been part of my rhythm on the Camino and since I got home, so I'm sharing them here for you to pray alongside me:  Morning Prayer We begin our day alone, Honoring this life, with all its potentials and possibilities.

  a labyrinth I walked today in Leavenworth at our friend's house  🔆 The path ahead, When I don’t know Which way to turn, When I pray And I’m met with silence, When all I can muster Is  Why ?, Meet me in the breeze, Wipe away my tears, Meet me in the meadow. Breath of heaven, Meet me in the unknowing So that I might be known. -Kayla Craig

 more Celtic blessings for you to celebrate the time you got to have in Scotland!  For that which we ought to have done, to bring a blessing or word in due season, forgive us, gracious Lord. For that which we have already done, which has caused a wound or moved someone to anger, forgive us, gracious Lord. May these be lives that are devoted to serving you, and all whom you would lead us to.     You have given us each other, that through this community of faith others might be drawn to you. Forgive us when, through lack of love our lives do not reflect your grace and our words bring anything but peace. May this place bring a blessing to all who enter, and this people become the face of Christ that they shall see today.         May this be a day of hope, of expectation, relishing each moment as a gift from you. May this be a day of freedom, of breaking free, loosening the chains that still surround us. May this be a day of peace, of wholeness, knowi...

Acts 2: 1-21 New International Version The Holy Spirit Comes at Pentecost 2 When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. 2 Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. 4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues [ a ] as the Spirit enabled them. 5 Now there were staying in Jerusalem God-fearing Jews from every nation under heaven. 6 When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard their own language being spoken. 7 Utterly amazed, they asked: “Aren’t all these who are speaking Galileans? 8 Then how is it that each of us hears them in our native language? 9 Parthians, Medes and Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, [ b ] 10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near...
