home about monthly archives may 2017 we are standing on holy ground posted on may 23 2017 by abbiewatters 1 this phrase has been recurring for the last 48 hours we sang it as one of our opening hymns for worship sunday i spent the last two afternoons in the garden trying desperately to dig out roots that were older than i am in order to plant my tomato plants and the music kept playing in my head i remembered that one of the ministers at preston hollow presbyterian church in dallas always took her shoes off before she stepped into the pulpit she said it reminded her that she was standing on holy ground and then monday morning in the post from kate foster connors on the next church blog the phrase recurred i am realizing that wherever we are whatever we re doing even if we don t remember it we are standing on holy ground posted in uncategorized 1 reply mother s day 2017 posted on may 14 2017 by abbiewatters reply this seems to be becoming a tradition mother s day here s a
