by Bruce Williamson
I thought I'd pray a while today. I really didn't have much to say. The children are fine, I am well, but still I wanted to pray -- with nothing to say. But I thought perhaps to God it would not matter. So I just sat in his presence like resting under a great oak tree. I don't know if this counts as prayer, but it felt right to me.

About Me

- Bruce Williamson promotes joyful Christian spirituality. After he got tired of complaining about negative religion - fundamentalism, he decided to be positive himself. His website, www.jesusspirituality.com grew out of his newsletter "Encouraging Laughter and Prayer." Bruce is a graduate of Baylor University. He delights in eccentric humor, and creative ways of sharing faith. His friends include a puppet named Penny, and an a frog named Sapo Guapo Del Rio (translation Handsome Frog of the River.) Some folks have wondered if this is a reference to Del Rio, Texas where Bruce grew up. His sins include excessive education (he has two master's degrees,)telling lame jokes, nearsightedness, and going bald. He expresses his thanks to folks that have encouraged his eccentric prose poems including George and Alice Watts, Rev. Ben Walker, Diane Dobbie and her brother. He developed a love for prose poems a few years ago. And expresses devotional thoughts, prayers and humor in this genre. He has pastored a series of Baptist congregations in Texas, and now serves as Senior Minister of the Alamo Heights Christian Church.
