Reflections for today

Today is a busy day. Finished the preliminary draft of the workbook for our church's upcoming prayer retreat. In the middle of wrapping that up, I thought I'd check my Facebook friends out. There was a video posted called "Rain" by Rob Bell with Nooma. I don't know if you've seen any of the Nooma videos, but they are awesome and will make you pause and think about things seriously. This video deals with the subject of making it through the storms in life. It took me by surprise: not the content of the video, but at some point it touched me very strongly and I just broke down and wept; for no apparent reason. There is something there, so I am opening up my spiritual eyes to see what God has in store for this retreat.
