Cloudy With A Chance Of Sunset

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 [...]

I Believe In The Sun

Good morning... "Please don't miss 'I Believe' by Mark Miller on YouTube," she wrote after yesterday's post, When God Seems Silent. "So thankful for your commitment to sharing your love of scripture." I enjoyed the adventure of researching various versions of this powerful song. The following rendition by Schola Diffusa (Latin for "dispersed choir") was performed from the [...]

When God Seems Silent

Good morning... "Love that reading and your message," a friend wrote after yesterday's post, A Weekend Of Waiting. "Reminds me of the Sue Monk Kidd’s book, When the Heart Waits. Peace be with you." "Good morning, Sue," wrote another loyal reader. "I love the beautiful quote you shared: 'Strive to be one of the few who walk this [...]

A Weekend Of Waiting

Good morning... This was a weekend of waiting. Waiting for a teenager's scan results. Waiting for a baby's birth. Waiting for my mom's broken leg to heal. Waiting for a loved one's transition to heaven. Waiting for deadly flood waters to recede. Waiting for raging fires to cease. Waiting for this ugly war to end. Waiting for the [...]

Why Are Some Hollowed Out?

Good morning... I shared with her my retreat insight. I am carved out to carry the light of Christ. Nutshell by nutshell. Day after day. She asked, "Have you ever read the poem entitled Mother Wisdom Speaks?" Since I had not, she emailed it to me later. I savor it now for a second time with you. ****** [...]

The Real Me In A Nutshell

Good morning... Slowly walking through the woods, I noticed a nutshell. Small. Sliced open. Simply symmetrical. Secreted in our depths is the dawning awareness: The shape of Christ is the design of me. When life slices us open and our "Big I" begins to die, our true self begins to come to life: I am made to mirror [...]

We Flip Our Calendar

Good morning... I marvel at the fact that, for the calendar we keep, today is the dark day God flips our page. The B.C. measurement of time stands for "Before Christ" and our A.D. measurement of time begins "After Death." On this dark day we remember Jesus' broken body lying lifeless in the cold tomb ... then ... [...]

Our Intimate Solidarity

Good morning... "So, when you pray in your private prayer language, don't hoard the experience for yourself," says the Scripture verse at the end of yesterday's blog post. "Pray for the insight and ability to bring others into that intimacy" (1 Corinthians 14:13, MSG). Intimacy. Sent at 3:54 am, our morning message ended in the word "intimacy." Then [...]

Pondering Steve’s Message

Good morning... As a member of the chaplain team at The Lovett School, my husband Steve takes his turn writing a devotional for the community. Up in the middle of the night now, I re-read the thoughts he shared yesterday. Please join me as we ponder this wisdom together. ****** As Moses came down from the mountain with [...]

Praying For Olga

Our Friday group gathered to discuss our next chapter in Paula D'Arcy's book Sacred Threshold: Crossing the Inner Barrier to Deeper Love. To begin our time together, we shared various prayer concerns. One woman has a dear friend, Olga, who lives in Ukraine with her two daughters. Olga had sent a telegram earlier in the day: "According to [...]
