"And it still feels like my reception of these things is like a child sipping." Brother, I can very much relate to this sentiment. Wow; you expressed it so well.
Your words call to mind Romans 8:31-39.
I find myself in... not the same position as you, of course, but one that has me shifting my priorities, my view of myself and my life, in a way that is a bit like moving to a different place. I also want to focus more on family matters. I'm grateful to know a friend is in a similar boat, albeit one I wouldn't wish on you.
Steven, what’s the matter? Have I missed references in your previous posts to your head injury and your daughter’s care requirements? So sorry to hear you’re going through such a difficult time. Sounds truly like something out of the early life of San Juan de la Cruz. You and your family are in my prayers.
My apologies, I wanted this post to be focused on how beautiful the eucharist has been for me these past few months. I believe I've referenced my concussion that I took to my brain stem. My daughter's health I haven't written about as liberally. Once a few more piece fall into place for us on that journey I'll be able to write more. I think with the move of my office it has been a lot of change, but Christ is such a constant. We will be restored to the glory of the Lord but our family definitely still has our human limitations. thank you for your prayers. And I especially appreciate your devotion to San Juan de al Cruz. I have often returned to the volume on his life that you recommended to me over a year ago now. What a blessing that has been.

Sending a hug to you and your family from Texas.

Really sorry brother.
