For a long time there were a lot of black and whites in my life.  Things were either one extreme or another, in my thinking of course.  This came from a childhood perception of safety.  It was easier to deem something good or bad, right or wrong, hurt me or not hurt me.  It requires a risk to look at things closer and see the varied colors or shades of grey and step closer or further moment by moment instead of writing something off all together.  It requires involvement and continually checking in with God to determine what to do in this moment. I thought that I was saving myself and keeping myself safe when I made things black and white.  I have discovered that this is yet another illusion I fell prey to.  The good news is that I can now step into the reality that the only thing black and white is God. God is either everything or nothing. My prayer for us today is that we be willing to trust that God is everything so we can explore all the colors and shades of grey of life and not fear going somewhere that God is not. Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
