"I told God last night that whatever happened was okay with me." I was willing to do whatever God wanted. And I meant it.<br /><br />"Oh that," she said gently. "Sweet surrender."<br /><br />"Yeah," I said. "It's sweet . . . now."<br /><br />Surrender. The place that those of us on a spiritual path call home.<br /><br />I think I dreamed that map once.michael ultrahttp://www.rv0777.comnoreply@blogger.com
