This morning I was driving to work through downtown when my thoughts turned to my experience yesterday when the jail shuttle bus was passing by. As I thought about this I realized that I was stopped (for a red light) at the very corner where this happened. I looked up and thought about what street corner this wa s and I looked at the street signs and it was 7th and Brazos. I immediately thought about the seven deadly sins and the outstretched arms (brazos) of Christ on the Cross.

I thought about a lot of spiritual ideals this morning that I wish I could recall now but I do recall a moment when I was taking a drink of water from a glass and I looked at the water. The water suddenly looked very striking and I felt a deeper, greater sense of quenching than usual. I just stopped there looking at the water as it shimmered and vibrated. I thought about how I take cool, clean water for granted. I thought about the spiritual water.

At noon I got to go to the meeting, we read about the man who mastered fear.

Thanks be to God.
