God Is In Our Glitches

Good morning... My most recent daily blog post was sent out four days ago. Then I hit a computer snag and sent you an email entitled: "Technical Difficulties - Will Return When Fixed." Over the years, I have grown to believe that computer snags and technical difficulties often occur when God is fighting to get our attention. For our struggle [...]

Do You Trust God?

Good morning... Inside the funeral bulletin silently rested a powerful insert. I have returned to the words again and again, intrigued by their challenge. ****** Excerpt from The Tree of Life by Terrance Malick Job imagined he might build his nest on high - that the integrity of his behavior would protect him against misfortune. And his friends thought, [...]

Breathing Lessons

Good morning... "Breath prayers" quiet our buzzing thoughts, thoughts swarming like mosquitos in the mayhem of our mind. After reading this wisdom in yesterday's post, she wrote: "Thank you for this lesson. I guide my yoga class with what I like to call 'sacred breath' and so appreciate your mantras. It's helpful to have concise thoughts - even just two [...]

Sturdy Work Boots

Good morning... I love, love, love my black, well-worn Frye boots. Yesterday was the first day I donned those precious puppies as autumn tips toward winter. When I pulled my boots over my socks, I thought of a phrase that appears in one of my favorite verses in the Message translation of holy scripture. A green Shoot will sprout [...]

Is My Faith Hogwash?

Good Morning... In times of crisis, tragedy, and transition, old faith pillars are tested. As I searched for my lost, hurting soul in 2004, I wrote these words on my June 10th journal page. "The core of my faith is this: God wants a relationship with each one of us. As we surrender our lives to Christ, God fills [...]

Sense Every Step

Good morning... I pull from a cardboard box one of my nearly four hundred old journals and step onto the the elliptical machine in our basement. My top exercise of choice is walking and talking with close friends, but reading the handwriting of my past as I "elliptical" comes in a close second. "Every step of our journey is [...]

Hospice Transforms Fear To Faith

Good morning... Good morning... When we hear the word 'hospice' our fear level rises. Why is that? Because we know hospice care involves the transition of a loved one from tangible life as we know it on earth into intangible life as we do not know it in heaven. All transitions are hard, but this transition from tangible to [...]

Naming Our Spiritual Family

Good morning... I sensed God concluding yesterday's message with this deep desire: "Connected to our Creator, I want me, the real me, and you, the real you, to mature into the unique people God is coaxing us to be." This concept had expanded from an vivid picture of the lasting mother/child bond painted on Mother's Day morn to a [...]

Feeding Our Faith And Courage Muscles

Good morning... Heading into a difficult day, a close friend wrote to request my prayers of solidarity. God crafted through me the message below, a message I sense He wants all of us to experience. As we face various challenges requiring the brute strength of what my friend calls our "faith and courage muscles," we tap into the power [...]

From The Mouth Of Julie’s Mom

Good morning... Our prayers for healing from cancer for our friend Julie were not answered as we had hoped, but Julie's mom still believes in God's healing power, just like I do. Taught to trust through painful life experience after painful life experience, she still believes boldly in God's higher plan. "I only know that throughout my life, even [...]
