You were a super group - and yes, we did have fun at the foot washing! I hope you all had a good trip back to your home. And to Dan and his California trip, I hope our prayers for your train to be on time were answered.</div> <div> Lots of Montreat pictures are available at:</div> <div> <U>http://flickr.com/photos/mymontreat/sets/72157606498316888/</U><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <bR> <div> Stuff from our small group is more or less on pages 9-11. You will want to look at all the picture, though, as members of our group (and your back-home group) are sprinkled.</div> <div> One of the prayer techniques we discussed was lecto divina. Here is some more information about that.</div> <div> 1. Slowly begin reading the passage, reading it again and again until a word or phrase strikes you, grabs you, invites you or attracts you in some fashion. </div> <div> 2. Revisit and repeat the word or phrase to yourself. Enter into its meaning . Slowly attentively repeat it again and again, ruminating over it.</div> <div> 3. Reflect on, meditate on, what the word or phrase offers you, or on its meaning in your life. </div> <div> 4. Rest silently with God, contemplating God, waiting for what God offers, simply open to God without actively attempting to communicate anything to God.</div> <div> 5. Actively express to God the prayers that rise out of your experience with the passage. </div> <bR> <div> Please keep in your prayers those we discussed:</div> <div> L's home situation and D's friend who was hurt. And let me know how I can keep you in your prayers. You already are in my thoughts as school starts for ALL of you - including our 3 college student.</div> <div> Peace and grace.</div> <div> <B>Harry</B></div> <div> harry.greyard [at] avondale.presbychurch.org</div> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
