The alter they want me to heal at is in church.

The alters I am actually healing at in this season of life are DJ turntables.

and pub tables. 

There are others, but these serve as representative examples.

Seasons of life. But where do we find God, and rugged hope, and peace for our eternal souls? You know what they say, “it depends.” 

May I suggest the sacraments?

Sacrament of Silence,

Sacrament of Writing,

Sacrament of Nature,

Sacrament of Reading,

Sacrament of Tears,

Sacrament of Breath,

Sacrament of Dogs,

Sacrament of Walking,

Sacrament of Music,

Sacrament of Family.

And so on, and so on…

Mix it up, find what works for you, experiment, apply a growth mindset. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Be in the arena. The deed is all.

Pray to God to stir up your heart and rekindle the magic, but don’t grovel.
