Today is the kind of day you want to stay indoors, snuggle under a blanket, and drink hot cocoa. The clouds are so thick … the light even at noon is pretty dim. Most people hate this kind of weather, but personally, I love it. The world becomes quiet, as if in a moment of prayer.
 It makes me want to pray. To be still in the presence of God. To be aware of the presence of God.
I am feeling a calling to paint, to finish the prayer painting that I am working on, and to begin a new piece … possibly a large one. I don’t know what will happen next, only that I am starting to miss my easel and am itching to get back to moving paint around.
