End And Begin At Rest

Good morning... Last Wednesday, we ended our class for the young moms at Northside Church with a simple, low-key, makeshift party. Pretzels and pistachios. Carrots and spicy almond Bitchin' Sauce. Apple cider, seltzer waters and gooey homemade brownies. Easy, honest conversation rounded out our bonding semester, as we sat on the floor, picnic style, in the children's wing [...]

We Are A Work Of Art

Good morning... "Good writing, the adage tells us, is when we read something we've always known but never been able to put into words," explains Padraig O Tuama, the inspiring author of the delightful book we are reading for our Sunday afternoon monthly study, In the Shelter: Finding a Home in the World. Beside this profound sentence, I [...]

Some People Are Rivers

Good morning... I open my inbox and connectivity flows. Invisible power trickles through a poem, a poem that makes me think of so many of you, you who live like trusted tributaries in my everyday life. Connection. Consistency. Continuity. As we live in oneness with God day and night, the ease-flow-peace of the living Spirit becomes in us [...]

My Mug Shots

Good morning... "In every picture you take at PAWkids, you exude such joy," said a trusted friend. I'm beginning to realize that the joy we exude offers an "X marks the spot" revelation. A sensation of joyful passion is a great indicator of where and with whom God might want us to invest our time and our talents. [...]

Overcoming Autism And ADHD

Good morning... I have been fascinated with the talented little female who sang about our Savior in Saturday's blog post, Children Sing Our Song. Researching I learn that the seeming limitations of shy Kaylee Rodgers, both autism and ADHD, are being overcome by the development of her God-given singing voice. "Kaylee Rogers, 11-year-old girl from Donaghadee, Ireland with [...]

Small Circles Support Us

Good morning... Pitching in to make a feast, our family of six relaxed around the Thanksgiving table. Small circles of family and friends support each of us every day, do our hearts savor the love? We share meals, we share stories, we share an evolving history. We share time, we share gifts, we share words of encouragement. We [...]

I Didn’t Like It

Good morning... I love the healing rituals we do while on retreat. Usually, that is. Usually, I love each wise healing ritual. But yesterday, as instructed, I blindly picked out a rock from a soft bags of stones, and I didn't like it. I didn't like the engraved stone randomly resting in my hand. Other people picked rocks [...]

Stir Up God’s Gifts

Good morning... I brew a twelve cup pot of coffee before our house guests stir and marvel in amazement at the gifts God stirred up in us. "Therefore I remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you," says our central Scripture from yesterday's Awake To Wholeness Women's Retreat. "For God has not given [...]

Lean On Me

Good morning... There are a variety of ways to impact the world. Music is one of them. Last weekend I was introduced to a music video created by Playing For Change. Researching a bit, I discovered this quote: "Playing For Change is a movement created to inspire and connect the world through music, born from the shared belief [...]

I Feel Like Santa’s Elf

Good morning... "Hi, I just talked to Agape," texted my fun friend Corinne Adams on March 25th. (Agape Youth and Family Center supports and empowers both senior citizens and school age kids from underserved families in our community.) "They wished aloud for as many as 226 pieces of Mother's Day jewelry before April 23rd! (200 kids and 26 [...]
