Daily Refueling

A few weeks ago at a joint worship service with Goshogawara I was searching for common ground with a young woman and began with "So what have you been reading in your devotions lately?"

Her only response was a slight widening of the eyes and an almost imperceptible tilt of the head which seemed to indicate "devotions" wasn't a word in her vocabulary. So I tried rephrasing... but finally concluded it was the concept that wasn't registering! She had been baptised in the family bathtub by an interim pastor who included no instruction on the continuing Christian life.

Indoor...

Outdoor... Early morning...

Late at night...

I like early morning myself. But what really matters is the daily refueling.
