Does God Really Speak?

Good morning... It was a Wednesday, last August 1st, 2018. As I drove into work I remember prayerfully pondering which book to teach for our annual Lovett Senior Moms Study group, slated to begin in mid September. Because it was raining, I parked in the inner most part of the church parking garage. Walking up the first flight [...]

Peace Is Present

Good morning... "Look what landed on me all tennis game long," she texted me yesterday. "A little one on my shoulder." "A big one on my neck," I replied, texting her back one of my favorite pictures, taken this week last year in the North Carolina mountains. God's living, breathing Holy Spirit comforts us in so many creative [...]

One Week From Today

Good morning... One week from today, we will host another four-week class on the Enneagram, an ancient tool used to identify our own core need as a unique child of God. Once our deepest drive is discerned, we will learn to track our spiritual growth as God's Spirit awakens our True Self. This time I will be teaching [...]

Flip On The Light

Good morning... The following movie clip from the 2013 film About Time depicts the difference between plodding through a mundane day and developing the art of noticing joy along life's ordinary way. We can look down, hold back, feed tension, be annoyed, and this next twelve hours can add up to a very "tough day." Yet, there is [...]

Stop

Good morning... Yesterday was "Simplify, Sue." Today I sense, "Stop." "Stop." "Let go." "Try less." "Quiet down." LORD, let my words be few as I meditate upon You. Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable and pleasing in Your sight, O Lord, my [firm, immovable] rock and my Redeemer (Psalm 19:14, [...]

Betsy’s Bullets

Good morning... "The unseen Spirit of God was real to Betsy Anderson," said the minister with delight. Betsy captured breadcrumbs of Spirit-led living, compiling over her nine decades a coveted document called "Betsy's Bullets." Each person who attended Saturday's celebration of life service got a bright yellow copy of Betsy's words of wisdom, "learned here, there, and everywhere [...]

A Little Boy’s T-Shirt

Good morning... "My brain is 95% song lyrics," said the little boy's t-shirt at the airport on Friday. While waiting for our plane, my three traveling family members scoffed at me as I pulled out my journal and recorded the quote. Then my husband and I proceeded to laugh with our two daughters, 20 and 22-years-old, as together [...]

Our Pathway Forward

Good morning... "Thank you, Sue!" she wrote after yesterday's post, We Find Balance. "I needed this today and every day! Awesome reminder." I felt compelled to write back: "Balancing on God's breeze is our pathway forward!" "Just wrote that sentence down as my reminder," smiled her return email. And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking [...]

Savor Sabbath: Notice. Thank. Share.

Happy Mother's Day morn... "Sue, good morning," she wrote yesterday, "I must tell you how tenderly God cared for all the details in my mom’s life as she gracefully aged. I retired from work to take of our elderly parents three years before my mom died. I was working for several medical practices at Northside and had a card [...]

One California Cat

Good morning... One late afternoon several years ago, as I finished hosting class in our living room, my mind wandered weirdly to a friend in California. My close high school friend had moved from our suburb of Cleveland, Ohio to a suburb of Los Angeles to pursue his acting passion, he had not married or had kids, and [...]
