Our North and South Conferences of the UMC here in Indiana met today and yesterday for a continuing education event. Great preaching, small groups, workshops, and lunches were a part of the two day event.
Mostly folks found opportunities to chat and visit with long lost colleagues and friends... imagine a sanctuary full of preachers! Lots of chatter!
Amid all the stuff I snuck out back, yes, you guessed it, to walk a labyrinth. Young green day lilles were pushing up through the mulch, birds were singing, a water fountain was splashing water, the sun was bright with not a cloud in the sky- it was a perfect moment to walk, pray and reflect...
This labyrinth walk in the midst of the continuing education event was the perfect chance to listen to God and not my chatter or anyone else's. Who better to learn from than God's very self...
