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 have been fascinated with your posts about the many tables in our lives," she wrote. "So many come to mind! Display table. Side table. Thanksgiving table. The list goes on and on." She continued: "My daughter, living in Charleston, communicates with me in many different ways as she navigates a new city and her entry [...]
Good morning... Yesterday I sat at two very different tables. Invited to sit at my dear friend's table, in the morning I attended the uplifting, inspiring Action Ministries breakfast at the Cobb Energy Center. "What starts as a meal, becomes a conversation," I copied in my journal the words of a spirited speaker. "Out of that conversation grows [...]
Good morning... As her migraines turned into debilitating vertigo, she was held home, laid low, centered down for weeks. Finally on Friday she returned to class in our living room. Because focussing on small print on the page made her condition worse, she had not read a word of our book for the semester, Richard Rohr’s Falling Upward. [...]
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.

Negotiating table. [...]
Good morning... Our home is filled with artwork created by people I know and love. Margo Boden. Our children. Steve Penley. Gina MacFarland. Sally Mitchell. The one artist who graces our home most often with her beautiful creations is painter, photographer, and philantropist Corrine Adams. One-of-a-kind photographs. Funky seed creations. Transparent bottles filled with cool sayings. Unique jewelry, [...]
Good morning... "We all try to do what seems like the task that life first hands us," writes Richard Rohr, "establishing an identity, a home, relationships, community, security, and building a proper platform for our only life." This is a good place for all of us to begin. Rohr continues: "But it takes us much longer to discover [...]
Good morning... "I don’t feel terribly convicted about anything right now," a reader from South Carolina admitted after yesterday's post, Waiting Without Words. "I don’t feel 'on fire' or on a mountaintop. Thank goodness I’m not in a dark valley, but I do feel as though I am merely existing. Yesterday I was a bit sad that I [...]
Good morning... In lingering silence, I am drawn back to an email. "I will miss our Monday visit to your living room this week, but thought you might enjoy this blessing as much as I do," she wrote. "Hope all is well in your busy world." ****** Blessing from Bishop Rob Wright May God bless you with discomfort at [...]
