About: Lenny Scovel

May we find ways today to put less pressure on ourselves to perform, and take greater delight purely in the act of creation.  Success is strictly relative and fleeting.  We persist, regardless of outcomes.  Our best efforts are always a worthy aspiration, but the joy must come in the trying, and we are called to… read more

We pray for consolation from disappointment. We pray for cessation of grief. We pray for restoration of home and self. We pray for security of loved ones. We pray for our lives. We pray, and we are grateful. Blessed Be, and Amen.… read more

Today we continue the journey of recovery.  Seems a path we are always on, and it is so.  For life is a process, with wholeness as the destination.  Living gives us the ingredients of that wholeness, so as long as we live, we continue to bake.  Recovery comes from pushing to the limit, and returning… read more

May today spark our imagination and give rise to amazing invention.  There is no limit to what we can accomplish, unless we place those limits there ourselves.  So let us invent the splendid worlds of our dreams.  Let us make them delicious, whimsical, full of magic and color.  And once created, let us bring each… read more

What shall we pray for today?  Shall we pray for strength, or endurance?  Shall we pray for comfort, or for peace?  Perhaps contemplative prayers are in order, or perhaps our prayers call us to action.  We may pray to see something beautiful, or we may pray for healing.  We may pray for our friends who… read more
