The Light of His Amazing Love

Back to the Basics

  I’ve been up and out of my desk chair 763 times this morning and it’s only 9:00 a.m. My head is spinning with thoughts about my life, questions about my faith, and I’m wondering “How should I then live?” My body just can’t sit still. The focus isn’t there. So much good and challenging stuff to be thinking about. I feel like a jack-in-the-box that sits scrunched up and then gets wound up only to pop up and bobble its head and then sit back down

He Restores My Soul

We Can Choose

It’s been a week filled with choices, hasn’t it? Who should make or influence the laws we are asked to live by? How would we respond knowing our life will end painfully sooner rather than later? What responsibility will we accept for our actions that hurt someone else? The questions, the choices, the outcomes – they prompt me to whisper quietly into my soul…What do I think? What do I believe? What choice would I, should I, make? The bigness of life and its questions can make

Stop the hurry

God’s Promise

  I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; Be strong and take heart And wait for the Lord. Psalm 27:13-14

In the Messiness

Hello, My Friends. There’s so much good crossing our paths. Isn’t there? So much to be thankful for. Really. And… There are times when life just seems…tough. Lord, please just get me out of this mess. This situation. This chaos. Oh, God, can you please just remove the pain. The problem. The disease.   We want—we need—God to remove us from the messiness.

Name Calling Hurts

Oh, the name calling. It can be so hurtful, can’t it? The words that are used to remind us that we didn’t or don’t measure up… That we are too this or too that… Words that make us cringe and feel less than. Sometimes the words come from people who are living in their own messiness. But more frequently? They come from our own mouths…directed at our own selves. Thoughts…whispers…mutterings.

She is Amazing

Several years ago I wrote a tribute to my fabulous Aunt Idelle, encouraging the rest of us to live as she does – living so each moment counts. This week we joined her in celebrating the life of her best friend and husband, my Uncle Roger. Aunt Idelle is entering a new chapter in life without her soul mate, and it seems appropriate to share this tribute again. Aunt Idelle, YOU ARE LOVED. She’s 83. She lives in an apartment for senior citizens. She’s got more life
