A Married Couple Makes Fire

Good morning... On a ninety degree evening in June, my husband Steve performed a wedding for one of his former Lovett wrestlers in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico. The setting could not have been more perfect, as the slowly descending sun snuck behind a mammoth tree on a bustling street corner beside the historic waters. Walking down the [...]

Elizabeth. Audrey. My Mom.

Good morning... I walked by a little purple-white pansy peeking up through a lush sea of green grass. With rows and rows of neatly placed flowers looking on from a nearby bed, this one persistent pansy somehow appeared in a place it was not planted. Bold. Beguiling. Beautiful. Now I explore the meaning behind this dainty delight. The [...]

Choices In Our Church

Good morning... I made this card of encouragement yesterday with two tiny feathers I found on my walk. When God's timing is right - beautiful old things fall off to make space for the new growth of God. "Watch closely: I am preparing something new..." says God. I made this card to help me process the choices our [...]

If You Give A Kid A Cookie

Good morning... As the rains set in yesterday morning, our afternoon plans needed to change. As regular weekly volunteers, we brainstormed indoor activities for our final Monday gathering at PAWkids. Beading. Board games. Musical chairs. Freeze dance. Then came the Program Director's request. "Cookie decorating, maybe?" My happy heart lit up. Since I have a mom who loved [...]

Wow! What A Gift

Good morning... "Woke to your 'Be Fluent In Blooming' blog," she texted yesterday at 3:51 am. "I'm in the Netherlands seeing the tulips fluently blooming." "Wow! What a gift," I replied. "Each of these photos is a masterpiece." "I just saw the awesomeness of [...]

Be Fluent In Blooming

Good morning... In the middle of this Earth Day night, I marvel at the cut flowers dropped off on my doorstep. I am nudged to return to the words a friend recently read aloud to me. Again I am touched. I am moved. My breathing slows and deepens. Might you, too, be touched, be moved to breathe differently? [...]

Beth Lives On

Good morning... Yesterday, in the early morning hours, the Spirit nudged me to blog about the inspiration of our dear friend, Beth Jordan. Beth died in the fall of 2017, after thriving through brain cancer for eight fertile years. Throughout the day, many texts and emails came in recounting the joy of journeying with this big-hearted, tiny woman. [...]

We Harvest Hope

Good morning... It happened again. One message miraculously seeped into another. Yesterday's post ended with this wisdom: "As our self-protective shell comes completely undone, everything, everything changes." I pushed "send" on our blog then immediately opened a new email containing the poem below. It's as if the Holy Spirit had more to share with us about the "seed" [...]

Everything, Everything Changes

Good morning... "Here's another reminder of our 'seed' analogies in our reading lately," texted a friend, sharing the image above. I love the organic wisdom revealed. As we continue to explore our spiritual growth into Christlikeness, as measured by an ancient personality tool called the Enneagram, might we embody the "seed" quote by Cynthia Occellia? "For my true, [...]

Wise Words For Tender Times

Good morning... Last week, I posted a poem shared by a friend from our Friday morning class. ****** some types of sadness by Cleo Wade some types of sadness appear and vanish a quick hello & goodbye some types of sadness linger like a moon cycling through its phases in your being full half a sliver barely there [...]
