Good morning... After watching the captivating video in yesterday's post, many of you responded, "Surprisingly, I was moved to tears." God lives in our in-between spaces. Between stirring a bit and being fully awake. Between standing far off and accepting a hug. Between ending this thing and beginning what's next. Between noticing beauty and being filled with gratitude. [...]
Good morning... "Hi Sue," she wrote from Newton County, Georgia. "Saturday I tried and failed twice to message you, so perhaps the delay was providential." Then she told me her story: "Still seeking a new church home, Sunday I attended a nearby independent 'contemporary' church. Since I still love (and miss) singing in a really good choir, it [...]
Good morning... "The quieter you become, the more you are able to hear," say the words on a framed treasure from Goodwill. I stare at the wisdom, thinking to myself, "That sounds really nice, but I have been quiet now for an uncomfortably long time, and I cannot seem to hear one darn, divine thing." Possibilities perks up before [...]
Good morning... In lingering silence, I am drawn back to an email. "I will miss our Monday visit to your living room this week, but thought you might enjoy this blessing as much as I do," she wrote. "Hope all is well in your busy world." ****** Blessing from Bishop Rob Wright May God bless you with discomfort at [...]
Good morning... "Nice message," she wrote following yesterday's post. "We were watching the sunrise this morning in Santa Rosa beach and read today’s message. Chills. Love to you. Xo." This cooler fall morn, what do we sense dawning? "God's perfect timing ❤️," whispers our reader. As we nestle into God's perfect timing wherever we are, let's touch the "past blog [...]
Good morning... "Dear friend, as always, I am SOO PROUD of you for this wonderful birth," she wrote after yesterday's post, I Just Birthed A Baby. "You are just in an amazing season of being highly in tune with God's rhythm." She continued: "When you asked the question of us however, what am I pregnant with? I burst [...]
Good morning... I feel like I just birthed a 12 pound baby. Naturally. After three full day of hard, hard labor. Our baby was conceived by God a long while back, but this was the weekend her due date graced my calendar. Sunday was my well anticipated time to deliver. For months and months, really years and years, [...]
Good morning... I responded to the reader who wrote yesterday's post, A Hand Reached Down. Her frightening memory as a child sparked a similar story from my childhood. "I too have a falling in the pool experience when I was a toddler," I responded to her email. "Oddly, my memory was laced with a sense of complete peace. Sinking [...]
Good morning... I enjoyed a Friday night movie with a friend, "The Art of Racing in the Rain." A beloved quote came to mind as I watched Enzo, the dog, resting his sweet head and big eyes on the chest of his family members. Often his dad. Lovingly his mom. Playfully his sister. This quote came to mind from page [...]
Good morning... "Klunk." "Klunk." "Klunk." Does your washer also shout when you cram in way too much? "Contrary to what you might think, being too busy can be counterproductive," writes Rachelle Williams in the article I highlighted for you in yesterday's post, The Art Of Relaxation. "Think of a washing machine that is crammed with too many clothes. [...]
