I am one lucky woman.  As I type this, I can look out my office window with a wonderful view of the foothills and mountains.  I think of it as “God’s country” and feel so privileged to have it.  But too often, I think that’s the sacred ground and to encounter God I need to go there; take the time to stop and go find God there.

And I miss that sacred ground all around me.

I get caught up in my work and my thoughts.  I assume that God couldn’t be here in my messy office.  I take my shoes off but forget why.  I don’t expect miracles to happen on the sacred ground I occupy.

And, that’s too bad.

This month of August will find us exploring some of the sacred cities and places in the Bible where God turned up in an effort to see how God might turn up in our own sacred places.  We’ll be looking for you tomorrow at 9 or 10:30 and each Sunday in August.

Come, open your heart and take off your shoes because surely together we will encounter God on our sacred ground.

God bless you,
Vikki
