Things coming together...

So yesterday I had a "noticing" experience. I am reading a book called "The White Witch" by Elizabeth Goudge. It is a historical story based in England during the time of Charles 1 and Oliver Cromwell... the English Civil War... when the Puritan/Parliamentarians were fighting against the Catholic sympathetic King/Royalists.

I am also reading a daily prayer book compiled by Elizabeth Goudge entitled, "A Diary of Prayer".

So, I read the prayer for Feb. 27th and it was this, "O Lord, thou knowest how busy I must be this day. If I forget thee, do not forget me." by Jacob Astley before the battle of Edgehill... The prayer made an impression on me being having been prayed before battle...

Then, later in the day, I was reading The White Witch and right before the battle of Edgehill, Mr. Astley was quoted as saying that... it may be a small thing, or a coicidence, but I am someone who believes coicidences are for paying attention to... to see if there is something at work there.

The White Witch has seemed very significant. I can relate a lot of similarities to the religious and political environment in America in recent years to what is happening in the book. There are fanatics on both side of the coin and they have strong effect. I am still reading the book, so I do not know what I think yet...

We shall see...

I'm Back...

I had a rebellious bit of time there, not wanting to create a Google Account to be able to blog again. So I was sitting in the sand in front of the bulldozer of progress... refusing to have more privacy taken from me...

Then my computer genius husband said they already have it anyway...

*Sigh*
