That practice was dropped as decades past, dropped by my church and by me. Then in church a few years ago as an elderly African American women read the New Testament, she bowed her head each time she said "Jesus." Tears welled up in my eyes with her graced simplicity and the sad lost significance of the practice. Your beautiful meditation brought that sacred moment meaningfully back. Thank you so much.

Thanks, Odelet, for your meditation and sharing from your experience. It's a favorite passage of my dad's, too, that he likes to quote from memory. A good reminder.

It reminded me of my favorite Bible verse from Isaiah 26:3. Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee. I liked your devotions.
