I Saw Elizabeth

Good morning... "Can't help but think Elizabeth is the cause of this incredible sunset," texted a friend. "I am in Key West fishing, and I saw her (whom I have never met, but obviously heard a lot about) in a lot of beauty yesterday (Thursday). Praying for the family." "Elizabeth loves the ocean," I explained. "As a family, [...]

Don’t Be Afraid

Good morning... Enjoying a meandering walk, I took a few photos after an early morning rain in Little Compton, Rhode Island. The purple pedals. The yellow center. The lush green leaves. The rocky eastern shore. The naturally fallen blooms. All of a sudden in buzzed a bumblebee. I was gifted with a photo shoot featuring this fuzzy creature. [...]

Don’t Spoil This Gift

Good morning... After waking from my second sleep yesterday, I felt nudged to rework the final sentences of our post, People Inspire People. "In our own language, we talk with God," I felt compelled to share. "Please quiet my own self-centered opinions and fluently speak Your compassion, Your unity, Your understanding through me. As people inspire people, the [...]

People Inspire People

Good morning... Christmas is big. The Word became a human being and, full of grace and truth, lived among us (John 1:14a, GNT). Easter is huge. We believe that Jesus died and then came to life again (1 Thessalonians 4:14a, NLV). Pentecost is powerful. And they were all filled [that is, diffused throughout their being] with the Holy [...]

We Harvest Hope

Good morning... It happened again. One message miraculously seeped into another. Yesterday's post ended with this wisdom: "As our self-protective shell comes completely undone, everything, everything changes." I pushed "send" on our blog then immediately opened a new email containing the poem below. It's as if the Holy Spirit had more to share with us about the "seed" [...]

A Total Eclipse Of Our Heart

Good morning... In much of Mexico, the U.S. and Canada, the enormity and regularity of God's rhythms, set in motion before the beginning of time, will be on full display today, April 8th, 2024. Now up in the middle of the night, I prayerfully research and happily discover. Wikipedia tells us that "a solar eclipse occurs when the [...]

Surrender Everything Now

Good morning... This meaningful hand-hewn birthday gift became the central figure in our Friday class yesterday. With all of us wired very differently to thrive in this world, but the one thing we all have in common is our deep need to surrender everything to God, if we are to grow up into our God-gifted true self. We [...]

Our Ghastly Struggle

Good morning... Evil is not a word I use very often. Yet, in yesterday's post I shared the words from Romans 12:21 bleached into my tattered shirt: "Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good." After waking from my second sleep, I re-read our blog post before opening a weekly devotional sent to my inbox. [...]

The Lighthouse: A Story Of Restoration

Good morning... As I have shared with you, this season in my life is saturated with learning and teaching about the Enneagram, a study of the nine basic types of people we meet in the world. This dynamic measure of spiritual transformation, conceived of by the Christian desert mothers and fathers in the fourth century, helps to explain [...]

Listening To Learn

Good morning... After days of drizzly rain, I stepped outside with our dogs at dawn. For the first time this approaching spring, I heard an invisible bird sing, sing, sing. Melodic. Mesmerizing. Mysteriously unseen. I stood a while in the soggy grass, admiring the playful song. This early morning experience drew me to a book I have loved [...]
