My Morning

 

In his book Sacred Pathways, Gary Thomas lays out an interesting notion. Thomas identifies nine "sacred pathways" that are present in differing degrees in Christians. 

• Naturalists love God in nature. 
• Sensates worship God through their five senses. 
• Traditionalists walk with God through ritual and symbolism. 
• Ascetics draw strength from solitude with God and from simplicity. 
• Activists energize themselves spiritually through confrontation. 
• Caregivers best worship God by caring for the physical needs of others. 
• Enthusiasts love God with mystery and celebration. 
• Contemplatives interact with God via adoration. 
• Intellects love to serve God with their minds.

I’m renewed in the wilderness. God restores my soul in nature. So after the last few weeks of challenge and trial I figured I’d rest before I hit it again this afternoon. Needless to say, it was a good morning - for me, not so much for the coyote. 

Psalm 23: 1-3  -  The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul.

Oh man. I have nothing but respect for you. The coyote is only part of the reason. Thanks for being my uncle.

Mark, I think when you wear fur it is supposed to be removed from the animal who wore it first--But could just be me-- actually maybe coyote furs are better worn this way. Have a great day! You're awesome!
