Letters from the Holy Ground: Seeing God Where You Are by Loretta Ross

This author/spiritual director/pastor was the speaker at our women's retreat this past winter. She was pretty cool. This is her book. I've used it for the last several months, reading one chapter each day in addition to my daily Bible readings. She writes about finding God, spirituality, and holiness in our everyday lives.

"All of God's creatures are on the lookout for a little shelter, a place out of the rain and cold. To be filled with all the fullness of God instead of being full of the world's clutter and pain, we have to create and maintain space...When it comes to holy ground and the recollection that is part of creating it, the rule seems to be squatter's rights. Whoever gets there first, lays claim, and stays the longest, gets the space."

--Loretta Ross
