Good morning... “I will lead the blind by a way they do not know; I will guide them in paths that they do not know," God said through Isaiah 42:16 (AMP) to end yesterday's blog post. "I will make darkness into light before them and rugged places into plains. These things I will do [for them], and I [...]
Good morning... I happened upon an interesting quote by Corrie Ten Boom, who, along with her family members, helped many Jewish people escape from the Nazis during the Holocaust in World War II by hiding them in her home. "Is prayer your steering wheel or your spare tire?" A spare tire is used only in emergencies. Pulled out [...]
Good morning... I think back on a phone conversation I had with a friend this week, a friend stuck in a dark place. She read aloud to me a poignant quote from the book Let God: Spiritual Conversations with Francois Felenon by Winn Collier.

Good morning... As we walked around the horse farm, we talked candidly about the unstoppable transitions closing in on each of us. We shared our fears, our insecurities, our mistakes, and our doubts. At one moment along the path, we naturally stopped for a tender, tearful embrace. It felt right, totally right, enveloping each other in a hug, [...]
Good morning... I took this photo while visiting Grayton Beach, Florida in August of 2021. This particular sunset was the most memorable I have ever experienced. So, when our friend Corinne Adams sent me photos from the same beach this week, I could feel God's multi-faceted expression. "All within an hour!" Corinne shared her delight along with these [...]
Good morning... During my quiet weekend away, I experienced a unique communion. Instead of broken bread and poured out wine, I sipped light in my morning coffee. As we ponder this inviting picture, what insights are stirred? We have a fuller confirmation of the message of the prophets. You would do well to pay close attention to this [...]
Good morning... This Memorial Day weekend, I snapped a luminous photo of the sun setting in the quiet woods. Emanating. Permeating. Radiating free. Today we remember so many beautiful souls who have passed on to forever while protecting our country and the freedoms we hold dear.
