See More And More Clearly

Good morning... "On the way over here," she said as she arrived for her spiritual direction session, "I was given the image of me sitting in the chair at the eye doctor's office. You know how you put your chin on that machine and you look through a series of lenses with the doctor asking, 'Which is better, [...]

The Discomfort Of Rebirth

Good morning... As we enjoyed our current favorite show from the comfort of our bed, one sentence in a commercial caught my attention. I grabbed a pen and a box of Christmas matches still lingering on my dresser, and I jotted down the five words piquing my interest. "Everything is birthed through discomfort." These words are too important [...]

Together Let’s Wake Up Whole

Good morning... Yesterday I did something new, something way out of my cozy box, something I had never, ever done before. I began teaching my first Winter/Spring class by Zoom. I know I seem like an old-fogey, behind the times, out of date, but I have felt my spirit totally resisting this unnatural method of learning for as [...]

Let’s Learn Together

Good morning... One thing I love most about being the Women's Ministry Director at Northside Church in Atlanta, Georgia is creatively learning about God with a variety of women. Semester-by-semester, collaborative learning feeds our souls and transforms us gradually into the likeness of the living Christ. Now is the time to sign up for our 2021 Winter/Spring classes. [...]

Steve’s Birthday Surprise

Good morning... Fifty-eight years ago today, my husband Steve surprised his parents by arriving three weeks early. From the pulpit as a Presbyterian minister, his father was able to announce a double meaning at each Christmas Eve service, "Unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given!" Fast forward to now. Do you remember that [...]

This Is A God-Thing

Good morning... The sun rises on the first day of our interactive, online study of Anne Morrow Lindbergh's 1955 classic Gift from the Sea. This companion study includes book excerpts recorded from the beach, Scriptures, music videos, and questions to ponder. I just checked our class roster and sixty-three women have signed up to join us on this God-inspired [...]

What Is Church?

Good morning... Last week a church friend for over twenty-five years sent me the following article. At first reading, I loved it. Over time, I began to wrestled with it. Now I invite you into my soul-searching question, "What is church?" ****** Excerpt from When Church Is Not Bound by Four Walls posted on August 16th, 2020 If church [...]

Hand And Heart

Good morning... "Good morning, Sue," she emailed after yesterday's post Worry Less. Pray More. "I saw this yesterday and thought of it again reading your wise words this morning. XO." With our hand on our beating heart, where the Spirit of God is alive and well, we center ourselves on the only important thing: the peaceful [...]
