In the fog (photo) the other day I discovered the peace of heaven early one morning while looking over John 14:27; it sort of dawned on me that that's exactly what Jesus was leaving to comfort/console1 His beloved disciples when He proclaimed, "I leave you My peace."
 
*PEACE OF HEAVEN*

My peace I give you
My life I surrender
My light I extinguish
That you would know love

My peace I give you
My blood I surrender
My power I withhold
That you will gain strength

My peace I give you
My heart I surrender
My joy I relinquish
That yours may be full

My peace I give you
Not as the world gives
My peace is everlasting
Whoever has it truly lives

I THINK

Think on These Things One of the tragic casualties of our age has been that of the contemplative life--a life that thinks, a life thinks things through, and more particularly, thinks God’s thoughts after Him. A person sitting at his or her desk staring out the window would never be assumed to be working. No! Thinking is not equated with work. Yet, had Newton under his tree, or Archimedes in his bathtub, bought into that prejudice, some natural laws would still be up in the air or buried under an immovable rock. Pascal’s Pensees, or Thoughts, a work that has inspired millions, would have never been penned. What is even more destructive is the assumption that silence is inimical to life.
