Tom and I are just back from a delightful 3 days spent at Anacortes on retreat. In spite of the distraction of breathtaking views across to Guemes Island, and walks along Rosario Beach, it was a wonderfully refreshing and refocusing time. Our last retreat was at the end of December last year when I wrote a list of intentions for 2023. I wrote:
This year I am not making resolutions. Instead I am setting intentions. “Setting intentions is powerful when done properly” says Anna Marie Houlis in How to Set Intentions “It is more than setting goals – it is about being purposeful in pursuing your desire… an invitation to step into your preferred story especially when your intentions solidly align with your values.” She then goes on to say “When setting intentions, it is like laying foundations for what you would like to have, feel and experience, providing you with the opportunity to actively participate in your life the way you want to live it”
Unfortunately I promptly forgot my list of intentions. No wonder I needed another retreat. Here we are half way through the year and I have forgotten what I felt God was stirring within me. Fortunately, as I read through what I wrote six months ago, I realized that God has kept me on track in spite of my forgetfulness. Perhaps it is because God constantly nudges me and reminds me of who I am meant to be and how all that I am doing fits into that.
Interestingly the ways in which my intentions have been lived out is not quite what I expected. Here’s what seems to have happened.
- Strengthening my spiritual practices. As I thought about this I realized that I rarely read the scriptures each morning. Instead I wander around the garden admiring the beauty, inhaling the fragrances and listening to the birdsong. Gardening, creativity and writing are the practices that have drawn me closer to God over the last few months. Acknowledging that these are indeed spiritual practices and making sure that I continue to strengthen them over the coming months is part of my resolve for the future. Instead of sitting in my sacred space constantly distracted by the beauty outside my window, I plan to initiate early morning garden watering as my new spiritual practice. I think it will do more for my soul than the unfocused reading of scripture could.
- Dream and be creative. This second one of my intentions still resonates deeply in my soul. My desires to start a podcast and write another book have had some setbacks but they are a growing passion within me. I suspect that this time of thinking, dreaming and planning will make both of these much stronger projects.
- Live in awe and wonder. Over the last couple of years, following my sinus surgery and the health issues that followed it, I let go of my awe and wonder walks. Reinstituting these has been one of the most inspiring aspects of the last few months, and it is not just as I walk that find myself in the awe and wonder of God. It is also as I garden, as I write poetry and create fun forms of art and spiritual activities that I enter into that awe. I am more convinced than ever that awe and wonder need to be at the centre of my life.
- Build relationships and connections. Part of the joy of the last six months has been the opening up of my life once more to social engagements. My trip to Australia to reconnect to my family was incredible and the added bonus of sharing them with one of my best friends stunned me and left me rejoicing in the goodness of God. Reconnecting to friends here in Seattle and other parts of the country and around the world has added to that delight. Zoom calls have become an important part of our lives and how we interact with people, but there is nothing like that personal contact to enliven our souls.
- Seek regular intellectual stimulation. As an avid reader, my life revolves around intellectual reading and learning, but this too has been greatly enhanced by the opportunities we have had this year to attend conferences, small group meetings and theological discussions. As an extrovert, I learn best through discussion and personal interaction and realize that I need to much more intentionally incorporate these in my days.
- Take Time to Retreat. Setting aside a few days, like we have just done, is wonderful but is not always possible. Setting aside an hour or two each week is often much more doable, and I know that as I move forward through the rest of the year, I need to do this much more intentionally.
- Relax in the presence of unanswerable questions. The longer I walk as a follower of Jesus, the less I realize I understand of who God is. The cosmic God who created the universe so immense and complex, is not a God we can ever hope to understand. We are too small, too limited, too unable to grasp the truths of God. Sitting in that place of uncertainty is increasingly a part of my faith journey.
No wonder I resonated with the words of Mary Oliver’s poem Mysteries Yes which I quoted in last week’s newsletter
Let me keep my distance, always, from thosewho think they have the answers.Let me keep company always with those who say“Look!” and laugh in astonishment,and bow their heads.
My work is loving the world.Here the sunflowers, there the hummingbird — equal seekers of sweetness. Here the quickening yeast; there the blue plums.Here the clam deep in the speckled sand.Are my boots old? Is my coat torn? Am I no longer young and still not half-perfect? Let me keep my mind on what matters, which is my work,which is mostly standing still and learning to be astonished.The phoebe, the delphinium.The sheep in the pasture, and the pasture. Which is mostly rejoicing, since all ingredients are here,which is gratitude, to be given a mind and a heart and these body-clothes, a mouth with which to give shouts of joy to the moth and the wren, to the sleepy dug-up clam,telling them all, over and over, how it is that we live forever. ~Mary Oliver

Who does not love ice cream? Well, I have learned that some love and/or enjoy ice cream more than others. I grew up in a household where ice cream was almost like a staple in the freezer. For my father it was his regular bedtime snack. He had grown up on a dairy farm and homemade ice cream was definitely a part of the family lifestyle. The creamery that processed the farm milk processed milk for selling, cream for selling and they also made butter and ice cream. I remember a small oblong bar where one could sit on a stool and enjoy a sundae, shake, malt or ice cream cone. And there was not just vanilla ice cream – the creamery was known for its flavored ice cream as well. A few of those flavors I remember were chocolate, butter pecan, strawberry and cherry nut. There may have been others but I do not remember.
As I pondered this writing I wondered what one could look to in the Scriptures to possibly relate to this celebration. I chose some verses from I Corinthians 5 as I think we can take an analogy from the verses that for some may relate to the appetite for ice cream.
2 Corinthians 5:1-5
1-5 For instance, we know that when these bodies of ours are taken down like tents and folded away, they will be replaced by resurrection bodies in heaven—God-made, not handmade—and we’ll never have to relocate our “tents” again. Sometimes we can hardly wait to move—and so we cry out in frustration. Compared to what’s coming, living conditions around here seem like a stopover in an unfurnished shack, and we’re tired of it! We’ve been given a glimpse of the real thing, our true home, our resurrection bodies! The Spirit of God whets our appetite by giving us a taste of what’s ahead. He puts a little of heaven in our hearts so that we’ll never settle for less.
These verses are talking about one’s appetite for God and how once a person really experiences God their heart will always want to follow Him. It may be hard for some of us to imagine that God really puts an appetite or desire for God in the heart of every single person. There are times when one may wonder how that can be true. I have met those who do not really have an appetite for ice cream as well.
First of all, let us consider how one can have or gain an appetite for God? For some of us it has been something that we have grown up with – we were taught about God from childhood and taught how to realize His love for us as well as respond to His love. As one learns more about God and embraces His presence in one’s life the reality is that a person will see the good around as gifts from God. They will not miss that there is the not so good but will learn how to embrace God in the midst of it as well. As one learns as well as embraces God in the whole of life every day they fall in love with God and would rather follow Him even if they do not necessarily like everything that happens. Each one of us may like a different flavor of ice cream. We may like a different brand of ice cream than another. We may prefer it served in a different manner than another. I have given you a few samples here of ice cream treats I have enjoyed over the years. Of course if you ask my sons or husband they would say ‘she will eat ice cream any way it comes,’ and that is almost true – although I have a flavor or two that I prefer to leave at the grocery store. My friends, it is the same with God – each one of us can experience God in a different way. For some they prefer a quiet space in their home, others prefer a quiet space out in a flower garden or in nature, others may prefer a library or a church sanctuary. Some prefer to sit in silence, some prefer to read and meditate over the Scriptures, some prefer to listen to readings of Scripture and/or meditations. Some prefer to journal while they are meditating. There is no one prescription (or flavor) that has to be followed to celebrate and embrace God in one’s life. What is most important is that one finds a way that helps them relate with God and it feeds their spiritual life.
So with the ice cream, it can be chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, cherry, peanut butter, cookie dough or any one that you can imagine to make and/or buy. This spring my one son and I were reminiscing about an ice cream store we would frequent as they were growing up. I am not sure if this flavor was featured more than one summer or not – but it was bubble gum ice cream. I just remember that as they were eating their ice cream cone the piece of gum grew larger with each bite. Oh my, that was quite the experience. Today there are Dippin’ Dots and I often see people enjoying those at the mall as well.
As I close today may I be so bold to suggest that maybe today would be a good day to enjoy some ice cream – preferably one of your favorite flavors and/or kinds. As I was thinking about this I had thought – I should dig out my ice cream maker but that would be more ice cream than I would know what to do with unless I went out in my front yard and shared with the neighbors. But in Phoenix where our temperatures now are usually well over a hundred degrees I think I will just enjoy a bit of ice cream as I enjoy a baseball game which is indoors. And along with that I will be grateful to God for taste buds to embrace the flavor that I choose to have. So whether you choose a plain bowl of ice cream or a special flavor in a cone or a milkshake or a float or sandwich or with a piece of pie or cake – embrace every lick right up to the last and then say:
“Amen God, thank you for helping us learn how to make and eat ice cream!”

Digging Deeper: The Art of Contemplative Gardening
“My healing garden inspired by Digging Deeper has been a comfort to me in this time of transition.” – M Christine Sine’s latest book is packed full of contemplative wisdom and inspiration for creating your own meditative focus. Click for more details!
Happy Friday! Happy Weekend! I am on the road taking the slow way back to Nashville so a quick FreerangeFriday Prayer Practice today. I led this practice in my workshop this past week at the It’s All About Love: A Festival for the Jesus Movement in Baltimore. More on that next Friday!
This practice is great when you are standing in line at the store, or waiting to pick someone up at the airport, or when you are waiting anywhere! You might also try this first thing in the morning or before you eat lunch as a way to focus your prayers. It’s also a great practice to do with your family at the table and then have everyone put the phones away so you can have a real conversation. You can begin small groups or even church worship services with this practice and then invite everyone to put their phones away for the hour and be present!
All you need is a phone with a texting feature!
Praying with Your Cell Phone:
Set your cell phone timer to 2 minutes. If you are leading this with a group, even if it’s a small group, let them know they will be praying for two minutes, in silence.
Before you start the practice, open your texting app.
You are NOT GOING TO TEXT ANYONE. You are going to PRAY THROUGH THE LIST of people who have texted you recently.
Take a deep breath. Breathe in God’s love and Peace.
You could say:” Jesus show us how to pray for these friends, what they are needing today,’ but I usually just invite people to pray through their texts list and allow the Holy Spirit to lead.
PRAY through your text list for two minutes.
When the timer goes off after two minutes, consider what you noticed as you prayed.
How did the Holy Spirit invite you to pray?
Who was in your list?
What were some of the needs you saw?
Who or what were you thankful for?
Who might you connect with later to encourage them or just say hello in real time?
If you are doing this as a group or a family, you can ask these questions out loud and then let people share who want to do so.
This practice is really simple and great way to use your phone as a prayer tool.
You can also pray this way through the headlines in your news feed or even the old school paper newspaper. Set a timer for 2-3 minutes and pray through the headlines. Allow the Holy Spirit to lead you. What does Jesus show you? What does the Holy Spirit highlight about the news? It’s much better for your soul to pray through the headlines rather than letting them stress you out!
Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. I Thessalonians 5:16-18
I’d love to hear how you use this practice yourself or as a group. Have a great weekend!

‘He is a goodie’ my grandson said to me, as I asked about a cartoon character he was describing. Little did I know that the conversation would lead to my third book, Heroes or Villains?, of which more later. There are many gifted writers who contribute to Godspacelight, and that is one of the sources of its richness. But where, I wonder, do all our ideas come from? Sometimes, of course, the theme of the season helpfully supplied by Christine and the team may lead us in a variety of directions. But because of the the magnificent creativity of God, a myriad of life experiences can be the place of birth…
I have written three books now, and each one has had a different kind of conception. The first was very unexpected. I was due a sabbatical, and several friends had suggested I write a book. I just laughed! Although I had always blogged and written poetry, I did not believe I had a book inside me. Then a few weeks later I was on holiday with my husband on Jersey, one of the Channel Islands. While we were both quietly watching birds, I felt I heard clearly God say ‘You do need to write a book on your sabbatical. And this is what it is…’ I do not usually hear from God that plainly, I can assure you! I didn’t say anything, but at supper my husband – who I have been married to for 42 years but does not read what I write! – said ‘You know when we were bird watching? I felt God say to me that you needed to write a book on your sabbatical.’ I was astonished, and even more so when the first publisher I approached took me on, as a complete unknown. Finding our Voice was published by Authentic on 5th July 2019, which unbeknown to them was my 65th birthday!
My second book, Held in Your Bottle, was conceived in very different circumstances, during the autumn of 2019. I had seen some photographs of tears cried in diverse life situations and put under a microscope. The results were beautiful, and surprisingly different from each other. I began to wonder if there was a book that might emerge from an exploration of varied occasions in the bible when both men and women shed tears. Having spent years as a counsellor and then a minister, it had been my privilege to sit with many people weeping. So often they would apologise, as though tears were a source of shame rather than release. I also recognised my own ambivalence to my tears and that the book would need me to be honest and make myself vulnerable. I scoped out the book and the publishers gave me the go-ahead. In the end, that book was written during the pandemic, a time of many tears, and published in September 2021. As well as exploring the wealth of biblical examples of very different kinds of tears, I dug deeply into my own background and the way I had suppressed so many tears as I grew up.
The third book, Heroes or Villains? was so different again in its origin! As I said at the start, it emerged from a conversation with my grandson about a cartoon character, and my asking him if they were a ‘goodie’ or a ‘baddie.’ A train of thought started where I began to reflect on the people in the bible and how much more complex they are: Abraham with his faith and yet cowardly betrayal of his wife in the face of Pharaoh, David with is heart after God yet appalling acts of adultery and murder. As importantly, I became increasingly aware of the way in which those qualities we associate with bible characters (and some which surprised me) are there in me too, in need of either fostering and allowing to grow, or through the work of the Holy Spirit to be rooted out, healed or disciplined.
Heroes or Villains? has a simple format and is very accessible in style. Each chapter has some imaginative writing from the perspective of a bible character – twenty in all – the text of part of their story, and an exploration of a quality we may (or may not, there might be surprises!) associate with them, and the relevance for our lives. As each chapter has questions for reflection, it is ideal for small group or individual use, use in Religious Education lessons or even as the basis for a sermon series. My hope for the book is that as we encounter these characters, perhaps in fresh ways, we are able to take an honest look at ourselves and those same qualities – good or undesirable – residing in us too. As we do that, I believe we will find ourselves held in the love of our remarkable God, as he continues his work of transformation in us.
So how about you, Godspacelight writers? I would love to hear how your articles or books were born! Do email me on heroesorvillainsbook@gmail.com God’s creativity is extraordinary!
Heroes or Villains is published on July 14th 2023 by Authentic and is available from all the usual outlets.

I find days where one remembers things fascinating. The mixture of things that different people remember on different days. Like the post I did back in February where cleaning out for Lent, loving your pet and social justice were all “celebrated” together.
A strange juxtapose happens again every 12th July, or has since about 2014 when it was decided to use this day to celebrate/commemorate Malala Yousafzai, the amazing young woman who at 17 was shot by the Taliban for advocating and encouraging female education in Pakistan. From around 1795 within the Irish Protestant communities 12th July was the day to celebrate William of Orange’s defeat of the last ever Catholic king of Britain, James II. A victory that is best remembered for passing that law that “no future monarch could be a Catholic or be married to a Catholic” as opposed to the establishment of a parliamentary democracy, representing a shift from an absolute monarchy to parliamentary monarchy.
I had written quite a ranty post about oppression, freedom, holding on to fears and hatreds but after reading both Lily Lewin’s post on Friday 30th June about praying for one’s country and Steve Wickham’s post about tolerance and hospitality in reconciliation I had a change of heart.
I still think that even though those commemoration dates might look random, God, somewhere in their infinite wisdom, wants to teach us something. Also, I believe, things don’t just happen by coincidence. So I was meant to read those two Godspace articles and I was meant to be wanting to write about 12th July and I know about both the events of the 12th July Orange marches and Malala Yousafzai. So what is God trying to say?
I think it is about praying with an open heart and not a closed heart. We need to have tolerance and hospitality within our hearts when we pray as much as when we open our homes to others. I wonder when Jesus said about letting in the beggars etc for a meal that he may have meant having our hearts open to those people rather than having already judged and boxed them into what we think we know already.
What if with the Taliban instead of praying that they cease to exist, we prayed not just enlightenment but a full realisation of God and all that means in their land, in their culture? We must remember that it wasn’t that long ago that women in Western countries were deprived of education, of voting rights, of rights with their own money and property, were seen as second-class citizens. Also it was not that long ago when slavery was thought of as just part of God’s plan. And even though most Christians don’t advocate slavery, how often do we turn a blind eye?
So instead of condemning let us ask God in prayer, what is the real desire for these peoples who are remembered whether through Orange marches, through thinking of Malala, and of all the other “celebrations” that occur during July?
I often get a little pang in my heart when I am with Americans who are celebrating 4th of July and wonder what things would have been like for the UK, the US and rest of the world if a form of interdependence had been sought then rather than independence.
I often think that instead of being triumphalistic at this time, whether with the Orange Marches, the remembering of Malala and feeling superior to groups like the Taliban, of the various Independence Days that occur in July, we humble ourselves and pray.
As God clearly says in 2 Chronicles 7:14 that if we, God’s people, who are called to pray for the nations, for ourselves and for others, really humble ourselves, pray, seek God’s face, turn from our self-righteous, know-it-all, fearful, greedy, self-seeking ways, then God will hear us, will forgive us and then will heal the land, whether this is just our town, our country or our whole world. Remember our land is this whole earth we stand on.
When it comes to anything from Northern Ireland’s marching season, the Taliban and their issues with female education, and all the other issues that cover our earth, are we willing first and foremost to humble ourselves and say “God what do you really want me to pray?” Then are we prepared to be silent, to listen, to allow God’s tolerance, generosity and hospitality sweep over us and so it can then pour forth to the nations?

Explore the wonderful ways that God and God’s story are revealed through the rhythms of planting, growing and harvesting. Spiritual insights, practical advice for organic backyard gardeners and time for reflection will all enrich and deepen our faith. This series is based on Christine Sine’s popular book, To Garden with God.
Mysteries, Yes by Mary Oliver
Truly, we live with mysteries too marvelous
to be understood.
How grass can be nourishing in the
mouths of the lambs
How rivers and stones are forever
in allegiance with gravity
while we ourselves dream of rising.
How two hands touch and the bonds will
never be broken.
How people come, from delight or the
scars of damage,
to the comfort of a poem.
Let me keep my distance, always, from those
who think they have the answers.
Let me keep company always with those who say
“Look!” and laugh in astonishment,
and bow their heads.
This week we are back on track and Tom and I are headed for one of our regular retreats. Mary Oliver’s poem Mysteries, Yes will travel with me as its words feel as though they are penetrating right into my heart. I will recite it at the beginning of each of our reflective sessions and look forward to what God will reveal through it. I love these special times away and as I mentioned in yesterday’s Meditation Monday: Are We Deaf to Silence it is often the voice of God revealed in the silence that speaks to me most clearly.
I am really looking forward to our days away. Walks on the beach with our dog Goldie, sitting in silence soaking in the beauty of the view from our little cottage, allowing the silence to penetrate my soul and bring new measures of creativity and wholeness are a few of the things I gain from these times away. I take lots of photos and write poetry too, as I did during our recent trip to Portland which gave birth to my Morning Poems which I posted on Saturday. As Mary Oliver says, delight and damage both lead us to poetry and bring enrichment and healing to our souls.
Resting and Relaxing was very much our theme last week. Lilly Lewin’s Freerange Friday: Encouragement for Your Rest Practice highlighted our need for rest and asks that important question: “What is Jesus saying to you about rest?” I have added all three of the books she suggests to my wishlist and look forward to reading them in a few months’ time. I continued this theme in my poem Rest in the Presence of God and in my popular post Welcome God into the Day and Into the Night talked about a different kind of rest that we need – sleep. It is fascinating to read some of the research on sleep and see how our use of electric light and of electronic screens has made this more of a problem than it once was.
Let me end with this beautiful prayer that Lilly Lewin wrote for Freerange Friday this week:
Uncrowd my heart, O God,
Until silence speaks
In your still, small voice;
Turn me from the hearing of words, and the making of words,
And the confusion of much speaking,
To listening
To waiting
To stillness and
To Silence. In the name of Jesus
AMEN
Many blessings on all of you

Tom and I are getting ready to go on retreat tomorrow. Part of what I love about these times away is the silence of the place in which we stay. It is perched on a bluff looking out across the Salish Sea. One of the things I like to do during these times away is to reflect on the scriptures I have read in the last few weeks and think about what has stirred my creativity during this time. Last week my time in Portland held some of that same silent reflection time for me and as I mentioned in the prayers and poems I posted on Saturday, this was very refreshing and relaxing for me.
When I think about silence, there are two scriptures that come to mind. The first is1 Kings 19:18, the story of Elijah fleeing from Jezebel into the desert. In the New Revised Standard Version it reads:
Now there was a great wind, so strong that it was splitting mountains and breaking rocks in pieces before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake; and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire, a sound of sheer silence. When Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood at the entrance of the cave.
Have you ever wondered what sheer silence sounds like? How do we hear it in the midst of our noisy world and find stillness in our souls? When we do find this holy silence, what makes us want to respond by going out of the caves in which we have hidden in order to listen to God?
We live in a world that is full of noise. This morning I am writing to the sound of Tom vacuuming in the background, planes zooming by overhead and the ever present traffic noise around me. Silence is almost impossible to find and most of us don’t know how to listen or hear what it is saying to us. But if we sit in stillness and reach deep within our hearts, there we will always find the silence of God. This is not a silence that makes us ask Why can’t I hear the voice of God? Nor is it a silence that blocks out the world around us. Rather it is a silence, a stillness that resonates with the peace, joy and love that can only be found when we walk close to God. It is a silence that calls us to intimate relationship with the creator of the universe. It is a silence that calls us each day to move out into God’s world in compassion and love.
It is not just sitting in a quiet place that invites me into this kind of silence. Sitting in my sacred space, taking some deep breaths and reciting my breath prayers also does. Walking around the garden early in the morning and again late at night, examining the flowers and the growing fruit, breathing in the fragrance of the roses, watching the insects flitter from flower to flower, has a similar impact on me. The garden invites me into an inner silence that transcends the noise around me.
The second scripture that came to me was Matthew 14:22-33, the story of Jesus walking on the water. What about that story speaks of silence you may ask? After all it is in the middle storm, lots of chaos, wind whistling round the boat, the disciples crying out for preservation. But into that chaos comes Jesus, calming their fears, dispelling the wind, quietening the waves. In the stillness that followed I suspect that the disciples caught a glimpse of the peace, the calm and the silence that revolved around the revelation of Jesus as the Son of God.
Thinking about both of these scriptures today this prayer/poem welled up within my heart.
Christ you come to me,
Not in the wind and the storm,
Not in the earthquake and fire,
But in the sound of sheer silence.
You come in a breath of calm,
That quiets the waves upon the sea,
Stills the turmoil of my soul,
And calls to my unquiet heart;
Be not afraid of the chaos,
Peace be still.
Come walk on the water,
Follow me across the waves.
No noise is too loud,
No task too impossible,
No pain too unbearable,
When I hold your hand,
And enter the silence of your presence,
Then peace will be the pathway for my feet.

Creating a Personal Retreat
No matter the time of year, it’s important to pause and take time to reset and restore. An excellent way to do that? Take a personal retreat. Building a retreat into the rhythm of your life is a spiritual practice often lost in our helter-skelter, busyness-is-next-to-godliness world. This booklet is based on the most popular posts about spiritual retreats published on Godspacelight.com over the last few years and provides resources for taking a spiritual retreat either on your own or with a friend or spouse. Check it out in our shop!
