Fr. Richard Rohr is my very dear friend. I did a retreat under his direction. Unforgettable. Yes, as he suggests, I have entered the second half and spend a lot of time with the dear Lord in contemplative repose. Mervyn Carapiet Thanks a lot, Bill. Fr. Richard Rohr is my very dear friend.

That lovely place, however, can be reached whenever we decide to let go of our addictions to being in control. Like all recovery, it starts with recognition, then surrender to a higher power.

What Fr. Rohr has written certainly fits my experience. As an older retired person I find myself wanting to remain deeply involved in what is going on around me. However, I no longer sense the need to carry the weight of the world on my shoulders. This allows me to spend more time and energy reflecting on what God is doing in the world and in my own life. I can concentrate more on how to remain faithful. Russ Liechty Thanks Bill for your thoughtful devotional! What Fr. Rohr has written certainly fits my experience.

Thank you, Lord, for whatever today brings. May I rejoice in, for, and throughout every blessed day!
