The River Knows

Good morning... On this fresh fall morning, a song flows like a river from me to you. Enjoy the palpable presence of God, trusting that the river knows where it goes. You are like a tree, planted by flowing, cool streams of water that never run dry. Your fruit ripens in its time; your leaves never fade or [...]

Grow From Our Center

Good morning... We are all designed to live each day from "...the place where our lives touch and mingle with God's. A shared space, a center," writes Sue Monk Kidd on page 61 in God's Joyful Surprise. This crucial concept expands all over these holy pages. "A center is not simply an inner place where you are in [...]

Our Remedy For Fear

Good morning... "Our psalm for the week is 31," she wrote, "and this was in the devotional I received from the church this morning. Thought I’d share." ****** Psalm 31 reminds us that trust isn’t a feeling; it’s a decision made in the middle of fear. It’s the steady rhythm of naming what’s hard and choosing to believe [...]

Pray Barefooted

Good morning... This week, I have watched footage of the final living Israeli hostages returning to the tearful embrace of their loved ones. On the news, I saw a Palestinian man finally returned to the grounds of his home in Gaza. What was once his special place, a place where he had raised his grown children, was now [...]

In The Midst Of Hate

Good morning... A friend sent me a thought-provoking quote by Albert Camus, and I wondered to myself, "Who is Albert Camus?" I googled my question and learned these facts from Wikipedia. "Albert Camus was a French philosopher, novelist, author, dramatist, journalist, world federalist, and political activist. He was the recipient of the 1957 Nobel Prize in Literature at [...]

Surrender Into Trust

Good morning... My friendship with inspiring fitness instructor Martha Kimbel is truly a gift from God. At 6:07 am yesterday, Martha texted me.

Don’t Hesitate. Love.

Good morning... As I parked my car at PAWkids, my favorite non-profit downtown, I hesitated a moment. Looking down, I saw the word love living in the gravel. At a time in our world where turmoil abounds, I hesitated and noticed love. My mind now returns to a Mary Oliver poem. ****** Don't Hesitate If you suddenly and [...]

Live A Grateful Life

Good morning... The truth is sometimes hard to read. "you cannot cram the glory of God into something so thin as a fact," whisper the tiny words on this black central line. As we wholeheartedly say "YES" to the glory of God, gratitude becomes our way of living. Let us ground ourselves in the gift of grace, as [...]

Overwhelming Trust

Good morning... Yesterday began with this prayer, a prayer sent by a friend. "It was the best to see you at church and to share a hug," she wrote. "God has surrounded me since with overwhelming trust. I hope you are feeling it too this week. XO" "Overwhelming trust," I replied. "What a beautiful gift from God. Overwhelming [...]

The Invitation Of Rain

Good morning... Adorned with a new, nearly naked haircut, our little dog Gracie and I drove to her annual vet visit in the pouring rain. The completely drenching experience reminded me of a writing my friend recently shared. ****** The Call of Rain by Matthew Kelly in Reflections of a Trappist Hermit, pp. 117-119 ...Water is always an [...]
