Oh God, Creator of sand and sea, how marvelous, how majestic are your works.

Now that the beach is quiet again,

The sea is a reminder of ever changing, ever flowing, ever coming and going.

Here is perfection. 

Community of pelicans – flying easily across the clouds.

Symphony of silence – found in tones of waves arcing, crashing, landing softly.

Sea foam blowing weightless – daintily resting upon new territory.

Dog innocently chasing sandpipers – a chance to catch flight.

Gentle hearts, slight smiles – humans moving in meditation.

I am here standing – in the surf, sand slipping away under my feet.

I am here… pausing, remembering, breathing, alive.

As a recovering person pastoring a recovery church, I need a growing and deepening relationship with God in my life and desire to share that journey with others. Hope Recovery Church meets on Thursday evenings at 6:30pm for an “11th Step” style gathering where we study the steps and Scripture side-by-side in a sharing/discussion format where everyone has a chance to contribute to the conversation and ask questions. We’re kind of like a meeting and sort of like church. Come check us out and give us a try! We aren’t for everyone and that’s ok. But, if you say “I belong” with us, then you belong!!!
