Good morning... A forever friend sent me the image above. "I'm not interested in whether you've stood with the great. I'm interested in whether you've sat with the broken." True. Tender. Touching. I sense the nod of God. Words we read aloud in our Sunday afternoon class now bring this quote to life. ****** Excerpt from pages 17 [...]
Good morning... "In a handful of relationships I have been insensitive," I explain to my friend. "I have dropped the ball. I have trampled over feelings. I sense my flaws so significantly right now. But the light of the sun still rises on me, and God's radiance breaks through anyway." "It's like the clouds on our last night [...]
Good morning... I have been fascinated with the talented little female who sang about our Savior in Saturday's blog post, Children Sing Our Song. Researching I learn that the seeming limitations of shy Kaylee Rodgers, both autism and ADHD, are being overcome by the development of her God-given singing voice. "Kaylee Rogers, 11-year-old girl from Donaghadee, Ireland with [...]
Good morning... "Every time I see this cross on my wrist, I am reminded we are not perfect people," she wrote after yesterday's post. "Even with our imperfect selves we strive to get it right, to shine through darkness, and to live behind the smiles with a generous spirit. My cross is not perfect and it reminds me [...]
Good morning... "You should write a blog post entitled Cloudy With A Chance Of Sunset," our twenty-one year old son said on the top of the mountain in Steamboat Spring, Colorado. He had worked out west all summer with five friends from The University of Georgia. My husband and I visited, seeing his place of employment, enjoying with [...]
Good morning... "I love this scene from 'Up'," a friend wrote after yesterday's blog post, One Favorite Movie Clip. "It's so dear. It reminds me of this." She proceeded to share the link below of 78-year-old Joni Mitchell blessing adoring fans with her beloved hit "Both Sides Now." Researching her surprise performance at the Newport folk festival in [...]
Good morning... This week I had the privilege of meeting with both the founder and the current director of Grove Park Renewal, a non-profit which supports the need for affordable housing in downtown Atlanta. After an energizing conversation about important possibilities, one of the men handed out copies of a blog post he had read that morning. Now [...]
Good morning... Waking groggy from too much of everything, I see in the corner of our room one simplifying symbol. A small mirror, surrounded by a mosaic of heavy, broken pottery, reflects the natural light. A cross of driftwood pieces quietly rests above the mirror. Through the center of my broken parts, might the light of Christ still [...]
Good morning... As my friend and I walked and talked around the horse farm, we discussed all that feels broken, out of order, in disarray right now. Mid-sentence I looked down to see a single butterfly wing at my feet. Disconnected from the whole. Lying alone there in the dirt. I picked up the fragile...little...useless wing. The small [...]
Good morning... "Unfortunately, this is not true," a loyal subscriber from Canada wrote after the music video I posted yesterday of Ukrainian President Zelenskyy reportedly singing "Endless Love" with his wife in March 2022. Our regular reader sent me a link exposing the truth that the music video was mis-captioned, adding the following facts. "While Zelenskky can’t be [...]
