End of an amazing day...

The sun is cruising somewhere on the other side of the world... my husband is sleeping, cocooned in good dreams I hope - and I am up too late again. But in this hour half moon and starlight, I end the day as I started - with a deep breath and Jesus.

It was really an amazing day. An unusually amazing day. I'm not necessarily talking about dollars - though I'm continually amazed - and humbled - when I see God's family pour out their love and support each Sharathon. I'm not necessarily talking about crowds flocking into the building to become a part of it all. I'm amazed by the peace. It's like being a child, totally trusting in Daddy to take care of you. All day I simply felt... peace - a sleeping baby kind of rest. Daddy's going to take care of us all.

I got to play today. All my work felt like play - from doing web updates to hanging out with Sally Slapfinger. It was like Daddy tossing you into a pile of autumn leaves - a pure, tingly, scary-good delight. I felt it wafting through the hallways, into offices and the auditorium. The fresh scent of God's goodness. I know there are elections. I know Wall Street is like some ADHD bully playing with our economy. I know there are wars and rumours of wars.... but in this moment, in this sacred space created by God inhabiting this family of believers - here there is no fear.

Thank You, Father...

I'm going to bed. This is going to be an amazing Sharathon.
