Good morning... As we were at the beach for fall break last weekend, I ran into a type of table I had never heard of before. Here is the sign that piqued my interest. "What," I thought, "is a traffic table?" My curious mind came home searching google for an answer. Here is what I learned. A traffic [...]
Good morning... I pulled the bookmark from my signed copy of one of my favorite books, The Hidden Life Awakened, and I put the small slip of card stock beside the lamp on my bedside table. Centering myself on God's endless Source of life-giving energy, now I whisper aloud each night and each morning the prayer first formed in [...]
Good morning... Last Sunday after church, my overactive mind began to wonder, "What different types of tables exist in our world?" I know, quirky question, but stick in here with me.

Good morning... "Nice message," she wrote following yesterday's post. "We were watching the sunrise this morning in Santa Rosa beach and read today’s message. Chills. Love to you. Xo." This cooler fall morn, what do we sense dawning? "God's perfect timing ❤️," whispers our reader. As we nestle into God's perfect timing wherever we are, let's touch the "past blog [...]

I walked, instead of driving, to the home of a woman new to our Friday class roster, enjoying fresh coffee and conversation. I walk and talked [...]
Good morning... I was the last parent to leave our first gathering of our youngest child's final high school year. I felt compelled to "close down the bar," "stay for the last round," enjoying every conversation until the very last drop. I was in my car by 9:00 am, driving forward into this special year of "lasts." Returning [...]
Good morning... I am grateful God allowed me to sleep in today, until about half an hour before my 8:00 am meeting. Had I crafted our morning message in the wee hours of the night, it would not have been this one, and this one is exquisite, for all the ways you will discover. "I thought you would [...]
Good morning... "Good morning," she began. "The posts this week have really resonated with me and the place that I am working through in my life. I am struggling to quiet the voices in my head and truly be open to hear God’s word for me. I have a number of complicated relationships at the moment where I [...]
Good morning... "Love that the summer blog is not recycled," she encouraged. "I enjoy the new posts ❤️." She continued: "I also love how God uses all things to speak to us.
