Being Sunday it’s almost church time.

I have found that “sitting” up straight when praying (we have kneelers in the Anglican church) does change the spiritual experience completely. Lots of people slouch when they pray on kneelers, but that straight back thing – WOW.

I was approached again about the Discernment process. Perhaps others see things that I don’t.
