Carolyn Anker and Marilyn Brekke had a delightful lunch of quick breads and muffins on fall decorated tables. Kay Lowry had the lesson on ” How is it with your soul?” Her lesson was taken from a book of Adam Hamilton. He believes you are touched with prayer with yours hands, heart and hands. Many references in the bible were touched such as by Hannah, Samuel, Jesus, and God. Pray should be addressed. It isn’t always perfect. God doesn’t want perfection just need to practice. Jesus was found praying at different times during the day but we need to pray often. In the morning, we should get for greater wisdom and direction to start our day.
