Good morning... Yesterday, in the early morning hours, the Spirit nudged me to blog about the inspiration of our dear friend, Beth Jordan. Beth died in the fall of 2017, after thriving through brain cancer for eight fertile years. Throughout the day, many texts and emails came in recounting the joy of journeying with this big-hearted, tiny woman. [...]
Good morning... "There is a God" is the song highlighted in yesterday's post, Light In Our Darkness. Listed are many ways the presence of God is made evident among us. After singing about hugging a 100 year old tree, the thrill of horseback riding, looking down at the world from an airplane, watching a flock of birds take [...]
Good morning... It happened again. One message miraculously seeped into another. Yesterday's post ended with this wisdom: "As our self-protective shell comes completely undone, everything, everything changes." I pushed "send" on our blog then immediately opened a new email containing the poem below. It's as if the Holy Spirit had more to share with us about the "seed" [...]
Good morning... Waking in the middle of the night, I turn on a single lamp, strike a match and light a melting candle. As I let the dogs out briefly to do their thing, our thermostat reads "18," which is bitter cold for Atlanta. My heart turns to those who are homeless, in our city and other cities [...]
Good morning... "Sue," she wrote. "Here is something for you that I learned and wrote down but do not remember where I heard it. We have 5 senses. Intuition Imagination Perception Will Reason All operate with the Holy Spirit within us. Life expands when these are exercised." My soul is tickled. I am drawn back to one word, [...]
Good morning... A soul friend texted me last week: "I am still sitting and praying about how to move forward with our vision….I read this today and thought of you and thought of our beautiful time together in the mountains….love you so…..and more soon!" ****** God’s Word Through Divina, 8th July 1970 Can you really come into the [...]
Good morning... This Mother's Day weekend, I realize that in 112 days I will be a mother-in-law. I am excited to let down my hair and be openly receptive to all the intimate ways I will be touched by our new daughter, Chandler. Chandler works for Earl Grey Floral in Austin, Texas and has been asked by her [...]
Good morning... Over the past twenty-four hours, I have reminded myself repeatedly, "Be a reservoir." When I was tempted to talk too much . . . then decided to listen instead, "Be a reservoir." When I crafted a long confusing text . . . before deleting it, "Be a reservoir." When I felt sucked into the middle of [...]
Good morning... In our weekly therapeutic community group at PAWkids, we gather with men and women from different backgrounds, with different skin colors, different ages, different life stages. What do we all have in common? We all face various challenges in our daily lives. We all need God's healing power. We are all constantly learning what it means [...]
Good morning... For our make-shift shop, nine of us laid out awesome gifts donated by many generous people in our community. Why create a Secret Santa Shop for vulnerable, at risk children to choose and to wrap gifts for their loved ones? For me, the best answer to this question is a story. ****** LOVE DOES THAT by [...]
