Jesus was mentioned, but in a confusing way, so I prayed and asked for clarity. That clarity was given thusly: "by setting aside in His flesh the law with its commands and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new humanity out of the two, thus making peace." ~ Ephesians 2:15

"Where I'm From" by George Ella Lyon
eXample: "What does God sound like my oldest child once asked me it is always a delight to get a question like that from a child so of course I dragged my then five-year-old child outside and sat them in the grass and I said "listen" what do you hear? wind... chirping... silence stretched as we listened. "I hear insects buzzing... so "God sounds like nature"
"Yes, I replied but is there anything else you hear? "Well, the cars out on the road and you and me talking." I grinned Yes all of that, everything..."
I did not attend, but isn't this a lovely slide?
