Good morning... I was captivated by yesterday's post on The Hidden Life Awakened website, a website beautifully created by the co-author of a book with the same name, my dear friend Kitty Crenshaw. The blog post reminded me of the life-giving wisdom I soaked in from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm last Friday at the University of Georgia [...]
Good morning... As I read these words aloud to our class yesterday, I wished I could whisper them into the ear of the reader struggling with a sense of uselessness, the many strangers who have lost everything in fire or flood, and my sleepless loved ones worrying, "Has our daughter's cancer returned?" "What authentic work is mine to [...]

Good morning... Today we welcome the first official day of fall 2019. As I prepare this morning's kick-off talk for the Lovett Moms In Prayer group, I reflect again on two pages from a book I taught in our living room last fall semester. "Autumn is a season of great beauty," I will read aloud Let Your Life [...]
Good morning... I responded to the reader who wrote yesterday's post, A Hand Reached Down. Her frightening memory as a child sparked a similar story from my childhood. "I too have a falling in the pool experience when I was a toddler," I responded to her email. "Oddly, my memory was laced with a sense of complete peace. Sinking [...]
Good morning... "Though I have forwarded your blog to my family members more times than I can count, and though I have silently responded to you in my brain just as many times, I have never sent an actual response."
