Rather than worrying about tomorrow, how will you rest in the miracle of your life, diffused with each exhale into the world around you?

Blessings on your week, and may your Halloween be a joyful celebration of harvest -- chicken feed and all!

How might you build a Field of Vision for someone else this fall, helping them to experience the infusion of the Holy Spirit in new and unmistakable ways?

As we pray for those healing from Hurricane Helene and those in the path of Hurricane Milton, what kind of reflector will you carry through the dark -- trusting that the Lord will protect you as you continue on your journey?
