Neighborhood: Christianity

Along with my new blog look which launched this week, comes a new blog feature here at Writer Off the Leash. On Sundays I'll post some random thoughts about God, or prayers, or dig into a verse or two. I'm no theologian, but I am on this road called Christianity and there are a few pebbles to kick around as I walk, sometimes sprint, often lag along.

Have you heard of Ann Voskamp? Love her writing. Currently I'm doing a daily devotional by her called One Thousand Gifts, which leaves space each day to write down your ponderings on God's grace. That's where I'll start this new feature, because grace is always where God begins. . .


to bend the knee
not from the weight of the world
but the wonder of it
becoming so filled with awe there's nothing left to do
but fall on my face
and laugh
and roll about with God
this wonder
this gratitude
I stand with arms wide open, willing to receive
begging to receive
open my eyes and bend my knees
in celebration of You
