Savor Sabbath: Opportunity Abounds

Good morning... After crafting yesterday's post, We Live In Layers, I returned to my email and received this message from a dear friend: "Please consider helping my neighbor as she tries to rebuild her life from a devastating house fire on Wednesday night. https://www.gofundme.com/f/house-fire-recovery-for-dale-pierce-taylor?utm_source=customer&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_campaign=p_cp+share-sheet." As I read through her difficult story and scrolled through the list of "Go Fund [...]

Links To Hurricane Relief

Good morning... Wisdom lingers within me from yesterday's post, When We Feel Broken. At the center of all this, Christ rules the church. The church, you see, is not peripheral to the world; the world is peripheral to the church. The church is Christ’s body, in which he speaks and acts, by which he fills everything with his presence [...]

How Can We Help?

Good morning... Before sophisticated, arial footage of the utter devastation in The Bahamas, "those victims" would have remained foreign, faceless, far away. What stays out of sight slips from our mind. What our eyes see our minds retain. What saturates our mind, our heart feels. What our heart feels moves our lips, our feet, our hands. I am [...]

Cook Up Compassion

Good morning... Reluctantly, yesterday late afternoon, I canceled my flight to Jacksonville, Florida. Hurricane Dorian lies angrily in wait, dangerously daunting. For months I have looked forward to nestling into deep conversation with author of The Hidden Life Awakened, Kitty Crenshaw, and talking over lunch with our 93-year-old friend, Christian mystic Betty Skinner. On Sunday, I got word [...]

We Each Play Our Part

Good morning... This Labor Day, we face hurricane horror, we grieve devastating loss, and we pray for God's endless love to bridge every gap living between us. My husband's chaplain message from last Monday came at a good time, as we all ask ourselves, "What part can I play in God's healing work in our hurting world?" Considering the [...]

Nothing Can Separate Us

Good morning... When tragedy steals life, I feel drawn to lean in, to reach out, to lift prayers, so I emailed an old friend whose son goes to The University of South Carolina. Over our string of emails, these phrases stood out. She wrote, "Sadly it’s true." "It’s been a difficult and devastating week for the boys...a lot [...]

Making Peace With Suicide

Good morning... I woke to her email, short and deep. I wrote her right back, deep and long. Somehow God ministered to both of us as we unpacked our pain. Sharing just my private response, I invite you into our intimate expression. ****** Personal Email from Sue Allen - August 30th, 2019 Another suicide? Yes, it is completely [...]

Good morning... Following yesterday's post, The Sound Of Too Much, our online community explores today the complexity of "cadence." "Hi, Sue," wrote a man I admire deeply. "Your wonderful message today reminded me of the delightful Spanish proverb I carry in my wallet: 'How beautiful it is to do nothing and then rest afterwards.' Love and blessings." Another [...]

Good morning... Stilling, noticing, taking Sabbath, we look back over our shared steps for this one-of-a-kind week. ****** Monday: After a tragic weekend when more innocent, voiceless people lost their lives to bullying bullets, her blessing came as a breath of fresh hope. "May we raise children who love the unloved things - the dandelion, the worms & [...]
