"Daily, quiet reflection on the Word of God as it applies to me (even if only for a few minutes) becomes for me a point of crystallization for everything which gives interior and exterior order to my life." Dietrich Bonhoeffer was a Lutheran pastor in Germany who assisted the underground resistance to the Nazi regime..he had a strong biblically based spirituality which called him to work against political injustices. Daily quiet meditation on the Word of God as it applies to me results in interior and exterior order to my life. At the very outset of my call to preach pilgrimage and to this very day my sense of order inwardly and outwardly came as a result of being centered in the Word of God as I understand its meaning for me. This is sanity, this is balance, this is purpose even though I am a hesitant and far from able practitioner of this truth. God does not expect us to be perfect but to set our sights in His Word. Thus our little pebble upon the surface of each day sends it ripples of influence upon this day and age....
