Good morning... As summer slowly turns toward fall this sacred Sabbath morn, please savor with me a 360-degree look at the powerful shades of God. The God of gods, the mighty Lord himself, has spoken! He shouts out over all the people of the earth in every brilliant sunrise and every beautiful sunset, saying, “Listen to me!” (Psalm 50:1, TPT). ...Sue... [...]
Good morning... "Sue," she texted yesterday, "we are also at the beach on St. George island. This morning we watched the sun rise in the east and to the west we saw dark threatening clouds moving across our beautiful island. But looking up between the light and the darkness was a full rainbow celebrating God's promise of his [...]
Good morning... At the beginning of this stormy week, I watched the sun rise. On my way back from the beach, I happened upon a slender, cream colored cat. Completely ignoring the warm sun at her back, this elegant little creature was caught gobbling down garbage. The image reminds me of an email I recently received [...]
Good morning... In the morning from Vinings, Georgia, our twenty-two year old daughter captured this photo of the rising sun. In the evening from Minnesota, I received this text and photo from my nineteen year old friend, Joanna. "Hi Sue!" she wrote. "Thinking of you and just letting you know I'm doing well! Here's a picture from where [...]
Good morning... At my request, our twenty-two year old daughter sent me this photo snapped on her morning run. She has graduated from college, has landed her first temporary job, and is now settling in at home for a season of saving up for the future which lies ahead of her. "I am discovering that I like running [...]
Good morning... To the beaming light of a big full moon, we left rural Pennsylvania at 3:34 am. Sipping on freshly brewed coffee. Debriefing from our visit with extended family. Listening to all of the episodes in a podcast called "Who Killed Mars Hill?" Stopping twice for gas, potty and food, we pulled into our Atlanta driveway at [...]
Good morning... As the first one awake, I wait for the freshly ground coffee to drip through the pot. The pastel sky peeks through the window, reflects off the borrowed black table, and invites me outside. Sipping with the rising sun, my lips and my eyes are filled with delight. [...]
Good morning... "Hi, Sue!" she wrote after yesterday's illuminating blog, Dawning This Day. "After reading your post today I wanted to share this email with you that I received yesterday from a friend and local author of several inspirational books (we live in St. Pete, FL). The article reminded me of what you conveyed in your message. I [...]
Good morning... I feel like I am living in a pre-dawn haze, not knowing, not seeing, not understanding life's larger landscape. ALS raging. Cancer ravaging. Addiction killing. Grief strangling. Poverty depleting. Division splintering. God, what are you doing inside and among us? God's light dawns quietly, like a heavenly dimmer switch, steadily allowing compassionate clarity to [...]
Good morning... "Sue," she emailed me, "I wanted to share this 'heavenly' picture of the full moon that I took this week after some storm clouds had passed through. I was awestruck by what I was seeing. It is from a back deck at the beach on the longest day of the year! Use it whenever you want [...]
