“Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like.” James 1.23-24 Conversations Within” ts 4/15/2020
Grace modeste- an "unassuming grace." Any discussion of a spiritual nature should reflect this mutual kindness. The following are simply my devotional reflections each morning. I cast them like "bread upon the waters," hoping that all who find them will find something of value to nurture their own inner life.

“The eye is the mirror of the soul.” Unknown
I am not very attentive to my outward dress and appearance. My precious wife puts more into what I wear and if my hair is combed properly if combed at all. I confess that this practice spills over into my spiritual dress as well. I read and reflect on God’s word and like a mirror it gives me a true reflection of myself. I see my scruffy soul, agree that it needs attention, but more often than I should, I walk away, and ten minutes later forget what needs changing.
