Feeling peace inside, what I’m dreaming…

Highlights from “I Am the Place where God Shows Up” by Eddie Watkins, Jr.: “There is no spot where God is not. I am not alone and there is nothing I have to do on my own. I am the place where God lives and breathes and has its being. I am the place, you are the place, we are the place where God…

Inspired by lyrics to “Getting Better Every Minute” by Richard Mekdeci: If we’re wise, we surely know, what we feed will always grow. So, I walk through my life and do my best to be cheerful, Because I know it’s a choice and it’s better than fearful.

Lyrics to “Get Ready, My Soul” by Daniel Nahmod: “Everything I’ve ever done, everything I’ve ever seen, everything I’ve lost or won, everything I’ve ever dreamed, has brought me here to the present moment, here, to a new beginning, here and I’m seeing life so clearly now.” “‘Cause here I go, deeper, deeper, deeper than I’ve ever been before. Here I go, closer, closer,…

Inspired by lyrics to “Emmanuel” by Claudia Carawan Once, a tiny baby slept beneath the stars of a long, dark night. This child, an answer to our prayers, our hopes and dreams and longing for the light.

Inspired by lyrics to “Be the Light” by Karen Drucker and Claudia Carawan Like a candle flame in a window pane, or embers burning by the fireside, as we celebrate, we illuminate, the light we shine is multiplied.
