Thoughts on being spiritually dry.
I’m part of a wonderful writers group called “Ripplers.” Our founder and mentor is Houston-area novelist Diann Mills. Our question for the day came from Diann, “What do you do when you’re spiritually dry?”
Here is my short list.
I guess because I’ve been spiritually dry plenty of times, I have a good list.
-Take a walk with DeDe.
-Go to the Appalachian Trail.
-Be with uplifting friends and family.
-Rest. Many times my spiritual dryness is the result of lack of rest. There are two quotes I’ve heard:
“Sometimes the most spiritual thing we can do is go take a nap.” -Bill Britt
“Patience is one of the fruits of the spirit. It’s also one of the fruits of rest.”
-Write prayers and thoughts in my journal.
-Be with my grandsons.
Resting in Him,
Curt
