Working in Circles

Every since I have gotten back from my trip to Arizona the first of June I feel like I have been running and gunning. I feel like I am doing a lot of work but I really have not gotten anywhere.

Spiritually I feel like God is far from me. I know he is not, but I feel like I am wandering around in the desert.


I have read a few good books recently. I finished reading the biography of John Adams by David McCullough. It amazes me how they wrote to one another during that time period. Each letter was a work of art of the English language. It is very sad to see how we have devolved. The amazing set of men who founded the USA is incredible.

I also read Yon Ill Wind a Xanth novel by Piers Anthony for nostalsia sake. I have not read a Xanth book in a long time and enjoyed it even though the book was not that great. I forgot the preocupation Piers Anthony has for sex in all his books.

A week from now I will be going on a weekend retreat. An Emmaus walk to be precise. I don't have any preconcieved notions on what will happen. I do not have huge expectations but I hope God touches me, revives me.
