Good morning... Driving somewhere in the middle of Alabama, I was singing songs to the company of the Christian radio station. To my amazement, the Scripture verses which had greeted me in the morning came through my car speaker to bookend my night. Before the rising of the sun, God had drawn me to this unfamiliar-to-me passage during my [...]
Good morning... “None can believe how powerful prayer is and what it is able to effect but those who have learned it by experience,” commented Martin Luther. Northside Methodist Church, where I am privileged to be the Women's Ministry Director, is inviting our community to experience prayer's power during a "Prayers for Our Nation" service tonight, November 6th at [...]
Good morning... Today many of our hearts hurt for an autistic boy who is forced to bury his father after a tragic death. A mother of another autistic child in our community introduced me to a story, a story that teaches us all about loving the unique life sitting upon our lap. "Welcome to Holland" is a thought-provoking, creative [...]
Good morning... I had gotten really lax and lazy, neglecting the daily task of transferring my morning posts onto my "sue2you" website. Since I began writing again to you on September 1st, following our "Breathe God Everywhere" Summertime Devotional, I neglected this essential, everyday task, a task which allows subscribers to scroll through old messages collectively, catching up at [...]
Good morning... My husband and I are midwesterners who were both raised in "meat and potatoes" families. Though we have shifted toward fruits and veggies, salads and quinoa, fish and chicken, we still enjoy potatoes at many of our meals. Mashed or diced, sweet or russet, baked or boiled, potatoes appear on our dinner table regularly. As the primary [...]
Good morning… Our daughter is struggling to make some major life decisions. Which college? What major? Who to befriend? We as parents are prayerfully dialoguing with her, and we all would love God's will for her to be revealed clearly. Soon. I thought of her as I read these words in one of my Spiritual Direction books this week. [...]
Good morning... Emailing about the importance of our morning devotionals, she discovered a typo. Writing "mooring" instead of "morning" and she marveled at her mistake. "Wow - this is an accidental typo - but mooring is a good word. Choosing to cut from my regular schedule to make sure I had time to keep things in order at home [...]
Good morning... Still shocked by the loss of her loved one, my friend sent out a "thank you" email to those whose prayers now carry her. God shared through her hurting heart life-giving words, words I now share with you. "His service was amazing. It glorified God, celebrated his young life and faith and was attended by approximately 1500 [...]
Good morning... I looked out my window and I saw eyes staring back at me. In the middle of the day from three feet away, dark eyes locked with mine. Eyes, no neck, and perfectly quaffed feathers, an eighteen inch owl was perched on my porch. We looked at each other for a very long time. Motionless. Peaceful. Soul [...]
Good morning... Having recently been through a life-changing loss she wrote: "Over the years I have collected matches from different places, playing cards, ski passes...all reminders of precious moments and places with my loved ones.
