Spread The Spirit

Good morning... We wake to a special morning in the worldwide church. Today we celebrate Pentecost Sunday. Remember how the wildfire spread of God's Holy Spirit began? On the day of Pentecost all the Lord’s followers were together in one place. Suddenly there was a noise from heaven like the sound of a mighty wind! It filled the [...]

Amid Life’s Noise

Good morning... A deep truth dawns. I must sense God's Spirit in the silence to notice God's guiding presence amid life's noise. Before leaving this wild, wild world to return to the full presence of our Father, Jesus promised us a gift, the gift of the Holy Spirit. He said, “I still have many things to tell you, but you [...]

The Gift Of Turmoil

Good morning... Turmoil stirs us from sleep. Deep hunger and homelessness litter our streets. Senseless violence and the threat of war push us to the brink. Fires of all kinds blaze around our globe, and we are witnessing the third-ever impeachment of a President in the history of our deeply divided United States. This is just a fraction [...]

Being With Betty

Good morning... I woke early on Saturday morning, surprise, surprise. It was the long awaited day to visit again with Betty Skinner, the 93-year-old Christian mystic whom God has used to shape my soul. Betty's captivating story, a rise from clinical depression into the joy of oneness with God, is chronicled beautifully by Kitty Crenshaw and Dr. Cathy [...]

Less Sue, More Spirit

Good morning... At home in my skin. This is how I feel when I am with Kitty Crenshaw, co-author of my favorite book The Hidden Life Awakened. "Wait right there," Kitty said Friday before disappearing through the sliding glass door into her condo, soon returning to the back porch with her phone. "I have to take your picture. [...]

I Shall Not Rush

Good morning... Yesterday morning her email came in. "Happy end of summer, Sue," she wrote. "Looking forward to our group getting back together soon. Below is from Richard Rohr's website --- glad we are going to be studying one of his books this semester. Thought this might help 'someone who is struggling' to better hear the voice of [...]

God Speaks In Surround Sound

Good morning... "Love that the summer blog is not recycled," she encouraged. "I enjoy the new posts ❤️." She continued: "I also love how God uses all things to speak to us. Nature, His Word, the spoken words of a friend, and even a blog or an email or a perfectly timed article. This week I chose 'kindness [...]

The Sound Of The Spirit

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 [...]

Peace Is Present

Good morning... "Look what landed on me all tennis game long," she texted me yesterday. "A little one on my shoulder." "A big one on my neck," I replied, texting her back one of my favorite pictures, taken this week last year in the North Carolina mountains. God's living, breathing Holy Spirit comforts us in so many creative [...]

What Do You Think?

Good morning... At 9:46 am yesterday, he texted me, "Reading through John this morning. Checkout John 14:16-17 and let me know what you think." So I googled the passage on Biblegateway.com and perused five different translations of these two verses. I settled in on the most detailed one, the Amplified Bible version, a translation hosting the heading "Role [...]
