I agreed right away and shed more light: "Yes. I also love this verse. 'Be still (let go) and know that I am God [...]
Good morning... At the break of dawn, the Light of life enters our darkness. The darkness of grief, anxiety, depression. The darkness of fear, loneliness, uncertainty. The darkness of anger, illness, conflict. The all-powerful God, Creator of heaven and earth, squeezes His whole self into the tender skin of a baby, to bring us the beacon of inextinguishable [...]
Good morning... At church on Sunday, we sang one of my favorite Christmas songs. Pregnant. Powerful. Provocative. How could Mary know that Jesus would enter her small life and change everything for everyone?

Because sometimes it is difficult and time consuming for me to put words to God's new morning light dawning from within me. Today is one of those late blooming sunrises. [...]
Good morning... We sat in silence, suddenly stunned. The immensity of God's invitation felt astounding. As we read these words our hearts pondered aloud, "Might, collectively, we be God's healing solution for this hurting world?" ****** Excerpt from Paula D'Arcy's Seeking With All My Heart To live in extraordinary ways, to taste the freedom of the soul deep [...]
Good morning... "This just may bring a smile on this gloomy Election Day! https://youtu.be/Bw5Cw_ZnOJw." encouraged the short email one of you shared yesterday. United by God may we touch on this link, marching in the light of joy. And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light (Genesis 1:3, NIV). In him was life, and that life was the [...]
Good morning... I lingered in silent solitude after a life-giving session with my spiritual director. Sitting still for as long as I needed, I soaked in the palpable presence of God.
