Good morning... "As Desmond Tutu told me on a recent trip to Capetown, 'We are only the light bulbs, Richard, and our job is just to remain screwed in!" we return again to the Rohr quote guiding us this week. Then we quietly move forward to explore with God the next set of words. "I believe that God [...]
Good morning... As I circle my way down into God at my core, a new idea springs up. Instead of encouraging you touch six times the "Previous" link on the top of each Sunday message, I am inspired to connect us directly to the Everyday Blog tab on our SueToYou.com website. Now that's a fresh, ingenious thought. Easy. [...]
Good morning... "Sue, I love this message - and it’s a lesson I’ve gradually learned this past year hosting a weekly Bible study in my home for the first time," one of you wrote after our Monday post, Welcome To Our Messy Home. She noticed her change of heart: "For the first meeting back in September, I made [...]
Good morning... Plan A seemed awesome. I was excited, grateful, anticipating wonderful. When Plan A gave way to Plan B, I was mildly disappointed but adapted pretty quickly. As Plan B crumbled into Plan C, the wind of joy left my sails, and I pep-talked myself into a new possibility. I lost it when Plan C unraveled into [...]
Good morning... I woke up yesterday to a text from one of you: Right away I responded, with the fresh memory of our UGLY "crazy" popping out on Easter morning: "Thanks! You too. Hoping for less of a Mother's Day meltdown. How about you? Ours has begun well, but it's only 10:00 am. Enjoy your imperfectly rainy day." [...]
Happy Mother's Day morn... "Sue, good morning," she wrote yesterday, "I must tell you how tenderly God cared for all the details in my mom’s life as she gracefully aged. I retired from work to take of our elderly parents three years before my mom died. I was working for several medical practices at Northside and had a card [...]
Good morning... From worm to harrow, from insect to iron, from the Bible verse that concluded yesterday's post on the evolution of our God-given-self, I did not know the meaning of the noun harrow. Harrow, as a verb, is more familiar to me. To actively harrow means to rob, ruin, ravage. To strip, spoil, severe. To destroy, devastate, demolish. When [...]
Good morning... Waiting for my son's Eagle Scout booklet to be bound at Fed Ex, I browsed the tall circular card rack. Whoever comes up with these hilarious expressions of common emotion gets a gold star in my gratitude book. I fell so in love with one birthday card that I bought two copies, one for my 82-year-old [...]
Good morning... I touched on the video link in yesterday's post, a link highlighting the important work of the Ignatian Spirituality Project (ISP). What popped up in tiny letters on my screen? "Error establishing a database connection." God is in our glitches, and I absolutely love that I can share a whole post on this transformational non-profit ministry. "The [...]
Good morning... You help me to grow in God as I help others to grow in God, who help others to grow in God. Let me explain. Last month, for the first time, I filed taxes for our written word ministry. Having incubated for years in the womb of my church work, my husband and I birthed my [...]
