Over the Rhine

As I said, I was in retreat these last few days. I went out for the day and returned at dinner time, because it's still not the time to stay overnight while Mira is at home with the kids. Wednesday afternoon I enjoyed a long walk at Rhijnauwen and Amelisweerd, in the surroundings of Utrecht. Amazing how the quiet countryside and busy city life can be back-to-back; I found a little path that I thought was very pittoresque but ended up right alongside highway A27. Anyway. The weather was really good and it was a looong time since I had a hike like this.

The other two days I spent in my uncle's appartment. It turned out to be a very good experience. It is an excellent place for this purpose: very bright, with not much diversion and easy to reach. I did some writing, listened to music, read the bible, prayed, went out for a sandwich, and then set myself to writing again. And although I am somewhat reluctant to say God spoke to me, I do believe I got some guidance in a couple of things.

Jeremiah 9:23

"Let not the wise man boast of his wisdom or the strong man boast of his strength or the rich man boast of his riches, 24 but let him who boasts boast about this: that he understands and knows me, that I am the LORD , who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight," declares the LORD.
