When to meet God
Today I relay to you the wisdom of the Dreaded Black Wombat.

My darling helpmeet said that she values early mornings when she walks one of our dogs. The local park she walks through is fresh and the scent of the flowering gums is delightful. She also values the evenings, when we sit on our back balcony together, to chew the fat of the day or the week, with our rockery/fountain splashing and the stars appearing one after another.

"God is crepuscular; he comes to you in the early morning or the evening. Just like in Genesis, when he walked in the Garden with Adam and Eve in the cool of the evening."

Far be it from me to dispute the insights of the DBW! There is great wisdom in the verse, "Be still, and know that I am God." Yes, as Christians in a fallen world we are called to activity. There is no disputing that. But we are also called to know that it's not all about us and our efforts, but about the God who knows us, and supports us, and works through us.

Take time, all of you, to spend those morning and evening moments with the God who speaks to us in these times of change.

I believe that was well said.

Indeed: God's place is certainly peace, serenity and love, so why not work to be closer to Him in that environment, huh?

In every environment Jan. Paul was content sitting in a Roman prison waiting to be executed. God speaks to everyone,if only we allow it,in our hearts.

I sometimes find that I'm more receptive to sensing God's presence when I'm in a relaxed state. Being autistic, to be in a relaxed state I have to be away from causes of stress, I don't find that artificial techniques to create a relaxed state of mind have any value for me.
