We Experience Epiphany

Good morning... On January 6th, on the twelfth day of Christmas, Epiphany is celebrated annually. Epiphany commemorates the visit of the Magi to the Christ Child and the revelation of God the Son experienced as a human being. We read the story at church on Sunday. As I revisit Matthew 2:1-12, here are the verses that stand out [...]

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 [...]

Welcome Women In Recovery

Good morning... I spent much of my Mother's Day afternoon assembling and delivering welcome bags for today's ISP (Ignatian Spirituality Project) retreat at the Ignatius House Retreat Center. Now, on this special morning, fifteen women recovering from homelessness and addiction will arrive at the MARTA station and be transported to Ignatius House by kind volunteers. Fifteen of you [...]

Lift Your Voice

Good morning... In our reading for this week, our class discovered a unique quote by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. on page 153 of Practicing the Way by John Mark Comer. "Whatever your life's work is, do it well... If it falls your lot to be a street sweeper, sweep the streets like Michelangelo painted pictures, like Shakespeare [...]

Love Is An Airplane

Happy St. Patrick's Day... Did you know what the three leaves of the shamrock symbolize? Faith. Hope. Love. I learned this truth at PAWkids during our art project last Monday. Using a large array of art supplies, I saw these three God-given qualities come to life. Art stirs up [...]

Tessa’s 1st Marathon

Good morning... On Sunday, our 28 year old daughter, Tessa, ran her first marathon in Houston. What an exciting weekend! Our whole family stayed connected by texts, and the photos and text string are priceless. Tessa's alarm went off at 4:30 am, and by 5:45 am we left the hotel in windy, 31 degree weather. Tessa walked to [...]

His Living Legacy

Good morning... "Indeed a humble man," filled the subject line of her email yesterday. "Good morning, Sue," she wrote. "I searched for this picture and 🙏 found it. My mom, daughter and I were heading home from New York City, and we were all held up boarding the plane. We could not figure out why and then we [...]

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 [...]
