Good morning... "You can definitely feel God's presence in this place," said one of the new volunteers after we helped kids with their homework at PAWkids yesterday. I totally agree. God's presence feels unmistakable in such a life-giving space. Don’t you know? Haven’t you been listening? Yahweh is the one and only everlasting God, the Creator of all [...]
Good morning... "I just thought of you the moment I saw the rainbow❤" a midwife in Norway shared with me a photo she took from her home. "Wonderful how connections last despite time and distance!" "So easy to nestle into the power of God when we experience moments like these," I replied. As we nestle into the power [...]
Good morning... Many of you have asked about our week long experience in the wilderness of Maine as Julie's Dream chaperones with six guys, six girls, and three chaperones from PAWkids, a non-profit agency planted in the Grove Park neighborhood of inner city Atlanta. It is hard for me to find words to describe the rich, multi-layered experience. [...]
Good morning... "Sue - thank you for the wonderful message today," she emailed me after yesterday's post, Listen Carefully. "When I read Henri's meditation on July 6th, I was struck by the rich notes of the veil that were connected to the music you were writing to us about the Will of God. Isn't God's tapestry so brilliantly [...]
Good morning... One amazing woman who spent regular time in our living room, learning, growing, blossoming alongside me over the years, was Julie Harlan. A powerful prayer warrior, a faithful friend, an incredible daughter and sister, wife and mother, Julie listened to the dream God planted in her heart. In the spring of 2017, Julie and I shared [...]
Good morning... She sent me a photo of the marvelous, massive web in her back yard. Fascinated, I googled, "How do spiders make webs?" I found some cool videos and an article explaining the four step process. The spider starts by creating a length of sticky silk which it dangles from a point. It is so light it gets [...]
Good morning... "Had you on my mind this morning," she texted, "and wanted to share this lovely poem that reminds me of you." In stillness we sense the movement of God, gentle, steady, expansive. Carried on the inner voice of Love, we travel a terrific distance. Attention, all! See the marvels of God! He plants flowers [...]
Good morning... "Nature, at a glance, is random and chaotic," my artist friend Corinne Adams wrote in her email. "Yet underlying this apparently disordered and complex system are intricate patterns, interconnected relationships, bold repetitions and a system of self-organization." "I am called into nature," she explains, "first, to observe what is there and to invite it [...]
Good morning... At 7:21 am yesterday, she wrote me in response to our post, I Was So Mad. "I am moved," she said. "This is so strong and authentic, Sue. Thank you for sharing this visceral and vivid depiction of a difficult process. I love the contemporary take on Philippians." Then at 7:23 am she wrote again: "This [...]
Good morning... Walking each day, admiring the newly born baby cardinals, and sharing pictures with you has been a real joy this week (see our post To My Surprise). But my heart sank to my stomach when I peered into the nest yesterday and saw it empty. No baby birds. No daddy cardinal. No living beings. Instinctively [...]
