Good morning... The God who created tonight's fabulous full moon also orchestrated every exquisite detail of yesterday's Finding Peace of Mind symposium at The Carter Center. What incredible gifts God gave the room full of uniquely designed people. To give you a small taste of our delicious day of [...]
Good morning... As we rest in the sun on this unique day, there are zillions of things going on around and inside us. To experience an intimate and expansive view of God's eternal perspective, enjoy this fascinating video entitled Cosmic Eye.

Good morning... "I love a blog called the Marginalian," a friend wrote me this week. "Here's an excerpt of poetry for today to share." So few grains of happiness measured against all the dark and still the scales balance. There is so much darkness in this wounding world. How [...]

Good morning... I open up this precious card to read these handwritten words: "Dear Sue, I found these cards at the bottom of the mailing box that your wooden hands came in. I'm sorry they were overlooked! Thank you also for another wonderful semester of learning and loving with you." Similar to the original "surrender" card, which I [...]

Knowledge and mystery lie beyond like beacons of light magnetically drawing us. This slide, used by Michael Begeman in a recent [...]
Good morning... In much of Mexico, the U.S. and Canada, the enormity and regularity of God's rhythms, set in motion before the beginning of time, will be on full display today, April 8th, 2024. Now up in the middle of the night, I prayerfully research and happily discover. Wikipedia tells us that "a solar eclipse occurs when the [...]
Good morning... I brought two good friends with me to the Maundy Thursday service at Northside Church yesterday. After reading about Jesus serving his first communion at the Last Supper (Luke 22:14-23) and his painful struggle to surrender to the will of God in the Garden of Gethsemane (Luke 22:39-53), we were all invited to kneel at the [...]
