Prayer…40 days
24 Mar“40 days of Prayer” study is a tapestry of scripture, concepts, questions, inspiration, connections, context. Prayer may be music, song, a long walk without the iPod.
Prior to this season’s study “40 days of Prayer” my most intensely focused prayers came during knitting prayer shawls. Coincidentally, one new shawl by Elfcroft is waiting for the pockets to be sewn on.

“Joy is prayer –
Joy is strength –
Joy is love –
Joy is a net of love by which you can catch souls.”
