The Sacred and the Profane

March 14, 2019 Anne Brock

“Uncover the sacred in the profane,” she said. I sat in this very room for the first time over twenty years ago. There were couches in the corner where we gathered for Wednesday night Bible study. The lights were dimmed and a candle was lit. The bowl began to sing and our breathing deepened. We… Continue reading The Sacred and the Profane

Paths

March 4, 2017 Anne Brock

  Remember. You were built for this, the ancient path inscribed upon your bones, the persistent pattern echoing in your heartbeat. ~Jan Richardson I’m leading a retreat this weekend I’ve titled Crossing Paths with Jesus. I’ve been thinking a lot about paths lately. What path am I on? What paths have I been on? What… Continue reading Paths
