For Your Quiet Meditation: Devotional Reflections

I served as an ordained minister in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) from 1976 through 2007 when I retired. In the practice of my ministry, I began to place meditations, called For Your Quiet Meditation, in the weekly bulletins on Palm Sunday, April 14, 1981. I have continued to write them ever since, using them as originally designed whenever I was serving a congregation. At other times, I wrote them and continue to write them as exercises in devotional writing mainly because I find them satisfying to do.

I now live in my retirement in the hills of the Northern Panhandle of West Virginia, not far from the Ohio River Valley, some miles south of Wheeling, West Virginia. With my wife of forty six years and a collection of pets, I take an easy life on five acres of reasonable solitude.
