That we may know your presence in one another

Words are short today. The prayer and words above really struck home. I had the opportunity in this busy week to visit St. Elizabeth's Mental Hospital as a member of my spiritual fellowship. (If you are a "friend of bill" you will know of what I speak)

So there I was amongst the marginalized talking about steps and the joy of life. Out lives as it turned were so different in their outward makeup. Yet we shared the same emotions and difficulties living one day at a time.

The bonus of course is that I got to leave. As much as I was there for them I found that they were there for me. "But for the grace of God go I" If grace is grace it is the great equalizer. None of us is running the show!
