Deep Thinking

 I came across a verse in some material I inherited from a priest. He had written it out, as he was a graphic, bookmaking kind of person; this quote is from the Psalms. 

"Peace be within your walls, and security within your towers!”  (NIV)

I find this profound. If I think of my being as having walls, and the thoughts within it are my peace, or not.  Anything I take up should feed these walls. Of course, at the core of peace is the Jesus Prayer. (Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.)  Then I started saying Jesus in my walls, Holy Mother, (Mary)  in my towers. 
Realizing yesterday that when I talk on the phone or engage with any technology, I lose the immediate now —my real life, my peace. Everything, and everyone around me, is physically relational and my immediate now. What is God saying to me right now? Have I invited Him in to interact with me? How much of the time do I go about whatever it is I have as a goal without a thought of what He wants of me?

    Blog Quotes...
    I have piles, on my desk, by my computer, in my bedroom, in bookshelves, of quotes from a variety of authors that hit me as being  DEEP THOUGHTS.
    All of these scraps of paper are to me, things to pay attention to, things to learn from, and most of all food, in a spiritual sense.

    It occurs to me today, to put them somewhere to  access them, and something you might like to think about too.  

    So -Merry Christmas- a gift to me certainly, and I hope to you!
