God is able to place stars in their sockets & suspend sky like a curtain; surely He is mighty enough to light your path.

I don't think God is a gender. He presents himself as a father but he comes to us with the tenderness of a mother. In some of the parables, he is the housewife who cleans the house looking for the lost coin. So I think we can miss the point if we get too concerned about the gender of God.

A book should be a garden that fits in the hands. Word-petals of color. Stems of strength. roots of truth. Turn a page and turn the seasons. Read the sentence and enjoy the roses.

About four days a week, I do pretty good at having a morning prayer time. But even at that, it's a rambling sort of thing.
