I Feel Like Santa’s Elf

Good morning... "Hi, I just talked to Agape," texted my fun friend Corinne Adams on March 25th. (Agape Youth and Family Center supports and empowers both senior citizens and school age kids from underserved families in our community.) "They wished aloud for as many as 226 pieces of Mother's Day jewelry before April 23rd! (200 kids and 26 [...]

God’s Colorful Design

Good morning... As I think back on our magical walk through the State Botanical Gardens of Georgia in Athens, I still am amazed at the feast of shapes and sizes, colors and textures, layers of life and sweet intimate intricacies. With God's handiwork freely on display, one unmistakeable quality of our Creator is this: we are each created [...]

Celebrating This Spring

Good morning... Enjoying a homemade, outdoor birthday dinner with two besties in my bundle, I am so grateful I was born in the spring. Spring is new life, longer days, and bursting beauty. Spring is renewal, revamping, reimagining. Spring is what happens when we wait with hope through the dark, cold, harsh, winter after winter. The day after [...]

Hold Your Quiet Center

Good morning... This week I received a powerful poem from a forever friend who has taught me so much about grieving well and tenderly embracing every ounce of life. "A Center" by Ha Jin You must hold your quiet center, where you do what only you can do. If others call you a maniac or a fool, just [...]

Who Is In Your Bundle?

Good morning... Years ago I learned of a Quaker concept called "bundle." Over the years, God has enhanced my small seed of understanding. The main gist is that we are all born into this world wired for a unique "bundle" of people, people we are designed to spiritually influence and to be influenced by over our lifetime. Our [...]

Telling Our Story

Good morning... "Dear Friend," she wrote after yesterday's post My Five Year Headache. "About the time you wrote to me, I was stirring and ready to slip downstairs for coffee and a chapter or two from my current book Lighthousekeeping. I made coffee and read these words: Tell me a story . . . What story, child? One [...]

Up From Our Roots

Good morning... As I was searching for a simple way to bring to life the first three chapters of Genesis, I ran into this really cool rendition of two artists' expression of Genesis 3. God also drew me to Luke 7:40-47 in the Message translation to balance our bad debt with God's abundant goodness. Up from our common [...]

Not Easy But Amazing

Good morning... Last night as we watched the Super Bowl with our small group from church, we enjoyed the always entertaining commercials. One clever commercial involved a hilarious Jason Alexander hoodie. Another "Let's grab a beer" commercial reminded us that it has never been about the beer, it's about being together. With the return of Wayne's World, Wayne, [...]

God Is Happening

Good morning... "I enjoyed this week’s materials and hearing your story," wrote the Creative Director who had just finished programming Week Six our Gift from the Sea study. "I admire your courage and vulnerability not just with God, but with your audience in sharing that story. It feels like a heavy one, but beautiful in its faithful ending." [...]
