Good morning... "Love this Sue!" she wrote after yesterday's post Does God Really Speak? "I think God speaks most clearly through us, in and through His creation - if we are paying attention. For me, one of the most powerful experiences of God’s timing came from me responding to the inspiration of a sudden breeze and a simultaneous [...]
Good morning... We are designed to live in oneness with the intimate and immense God of our universe. In our posts this week, we have traveled through everyday choices. If the will of God is the way of life, will we get all wrapped up in it? Monday: One of you shared: “I became convinced years ago that that [...]
Good morning... At 4:41 am I finished and sent yesterday's post Way of Life. Before climbing back in bed, uncharacteristically, I set my alarm. I was coaxed awake for a second time at 7:30 am. I enjoyed a cup of coffee on our back porch before my 8:30 am walk-and-talk. I was to meet up with a long-time [...]
Good morning... I love the Scriptural image ending yesterday's post. You've had a taste of God. Now, like infants at the breast, drink deep of God's pure kindness. Then you'll grow up mature and whole in God (1 Peter 2:3, MSG). We are each nursing babes nourished intimately by God. As we daily drink deep, increasing amounts of [...]
Good morning... I am not from here, this big, bustling city of Atlanta, Georgia. I was happily settled in the small Pennsylvania town of my dreams, walking to and from everything, with easy drives to extended family, loving and being loved by sister-like friends. Then, with the help of a group of diligently praying mothers and against my [...]
Good morning... "Sue, my mom passed away at 2:36 today peacefully and quickly," our dear friend Corinne Adams texted me at 11:08 pm on Saturday, June 8th. "It was time to rest. I can't wait to tell you about all the angels who showed up spontaneously...former caregivers, who were like family...they felt a call to come, not knowing...it [...]
Good morning... "There is a difference between being driven and being drawn," she said at the end of yesterday's phone conversation. Intrigued by the crossroads of these two words, I jotted her concluding statement in my journal, returning to her wisdom when I woke around 2:00 am. Around 3:30 am, I climbed back into bed, sensing God's message [...]
Good morning... "As Desmond Tutu told me on a recent trip to Capetown, 'We are only the light bulbs, Richard, and our job is just to remain screwed in!" we return again to the Rohr quote guiding us this week. Then we quietly move forward to explore with God the next set of words. "I believe that God [...]
Good morning... I cannot unplug from Richard Rohr's quote in Falling Upward: "As Desmond Tutu told me on a recent trip to Cape Town, 'We are only the light bulbs, Richard, and our job is just to remain screwed in!'" (ix) Jesus says a similar thing, "Remain in Me, and I [will remain] in you...for [otherwise] apart from Me [that [...]
Good morning... Our writers' group of ten women has been meeting most months for over ten years. So when one writer challenged us last week with the quandary of a quote, a variety of comments came cascading down. You will remember the initial words from our recent post Drill Deep. "This a small section of something I read [...]
