Do You Smell These Fireworks?

Good morning... Fireworks are fun, fascinating, fantastic. All of my senses wake up as I look at this photo, taken twenty-one days ago on the 4th of July beside the tiny Pennsylvania lake where Steve's family has vacationed annually for over a hundred years. Can you sense the booming sound, the sulfury smell, the spectacular sight, the exciting [...]

Being Led On A Desert Road

Good morning... "That is a beautiful song, Sue!" My friend wrote after Monday's blog post including Emmy Rose's stripped down rendition of the song 'Same God'. "Thank you for sharing it with me. It's funny, I was dreaming a song this morning in my head, which I can't remember, but it had something to do with being in [...]

Amid Life’s Swirling Storms

Good morning... As I sip my morning coffee, I notice a swirl in the weathered wood. My mind is drawn back to a Soul Collage card I created earlier in the week. The powerful swirl of hurricane winds imitate the pattern of the knotted wood. Now that you have gathered our attention, Lord, what might you teach us [...]

Our Days Are Numbered

Good morning... Yesterday, in the morning, my friend sent me a picture of a page from her well-worn Bible verse flip calendar. Psalm 90:12 (NIV) is brought to life. "Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom." A quote from Brennan Manning amplifies God's encouragement. "In prayer Jesus slows us down, [...]

Fourth. Full Moon. Freedom For All.

Good morning... Waking in the wee hours of this July 4th, I snap a photo of the full moon beaming bright above our darkened world. Fourth. Full moon. Freedom for all. My mind is drawn back to a phrase shared in our blog post a few days ago: "Trail of Tears." "The Trail of Tears was an ethnic [...]

What Lies Ahead?

Good morning... As we walked around the horse farm, we talked candidly about the unstoppable transitions closing in on each of us. We shared our fears, our insecurities, our mistakes, and our doubts. At one moment along the path, we naturally stopped for a tender, tearful embrace. It felt right, totally right, enveloping each other in a hug, [...]

What Consumes You?

Good morning... "From the center of our innermost being, we are transformed to transform the world with the gifts of God," concluded yesterday's post. "Power. Love. Self-control." After pushing "send" on our message, I climbed back into bed for my second sleep. As if the heart of the Spirit skipped no beat, upon my second waking, the title [...]

Finding Our Way Forward

Good morning... A few Fridays back, we gathered to mark the end of another magnificent semester of learning with God. Several of us met in person and the rest of us were bonded in Spirit from afar. All of us recognized, "There is so much to celebrate from this spring season together." To that end, we decided to [...]

I Am Where I Need To Be

Good morning... For the first time, I notice something that has likely been there all along. At the end of my friend's email, below her name, title, and business, rests a short quote by Mary Mrozowski. "I am where I need to be. Everything around me includes and hides the sacred." How freeing it would be to live [...]

Watching Our Son Grow

Good morning... This Mother's Day week, I marvel at the way God is growing our youngest son. Finishing strong his junior year at the University of Georgia, Jeremiah has grown in some very significant ways. Initiative. Motivation. Expanding an idea outside the traditional box. After doing various odd jobs over the past several summers and removing Christmas trees [...]
