State of YOUR Union

The President's State of the Union Address is the most analyzed and quickly forgotten of all executive actions--it simply has not been the effective platform to set policy agenda or to unify the nation.  My opinion--but the memorable speeches are those that come in the wake of disaster in any form--and politicians with a nation ready to listen and work together unite for a short time. 

Yet, what would you say to the question--what is the state of YOUR union--how are things with your soul?  Do you know the sound of your heart beat? Or, peace that settles within?  Your mind at rest?  Of feeling centered? 

It is said that the most valuable 5 mins that we spend is with ourselves in some quiet place--where for a millisecond, the door opens inside and the Spirit touches the soul.  That is THE state of union--when Holy Spirit touches and draws out human spirit -- and we know that we are not only made for that moment--but for eternity in that Presence.
