"If I am convinced there is a Triune God who is First Cause of all that exists, Who loves us unreservedly, and Who has awarded me and you a consciousness that far excels that of any other creature on the planet, why would I not wish to live my life as mindfully connected to this Power and Presence as possible?" So begins the prologue of this small book of thoughts and prayers which have been helpful to others in search of a closer more personal relationship with God. This is a second publishing of "LORD HAVE MERCY, Thoughts about Practicing God's Presence and Prayer without Ceasing," this one featuring a new cover designed by Scott Colburn and using his photograph of a magnificent sunset over the Gulf of Mexico.
