First word, His Word

Alarm sounds. Stumble out of bed. Half asleep.

Then, habit kicks in. First word, His Word. 

Simple practice. Way of life. Necessary.

And not something I can take for granted. Because distraction is always at the door.

Crossing Cultures Devotional Memoir

The way of life

It’s 2013. I sit in the easy chair and contemplate upcoming travels. Across the ocean. Our way of life means moving back and forth.

And adjusting to changes between two different worlds. Parallel universes, really. 

We are heading back into the intensity of culture and color and music that is South Asia.  The constant calendar of religious festivals. The daily encounter with spiritual worship of every variety.   

The relentless dust.
