Joy Fills Our Eyes

Good morning... Quickly scrolling through some old text messages between myself and two best friends, what stood out to me from the long sea of words was the pictures. The three images below captured my attention before God added an encouraging commentary. Wearied by the world, can we endure the powerful process of [...]

Betwixt And Between

Good morning... The last presidential debate has passed. Tons of votes have been cast. Many more will be gathered and counted. Now we wait suspended, betwixt and between, hopeful for what will eventually be. "We keep praying that our illusions will fall away," writes Richard Rohr. "God erodes them from many sides, hoping they will fall. But we [...]

Pain. Fear. Anxiety.

Good morning... As we walked our dog along the bank of the Chattahoochee River, my husband told me about a Richard Rohr meditation that helped him visual prayer in a helpful new way. At my request, he shared with me Rohr's writing, and now I pass the important portion along to you. ****** Excerpt from Richard Rohr's morning [...]

“Yes,” Said The Butterfly

Good morning... I was prayerfully hemming and hawing about a fairly insignificant decision. Though it was a small potato in the grand stew of life, still I wanted to choose wisely. I waited and waited until the surge of God's Spirit rose up to lead me to a pretty clear "Yes". It was a clear enough "Yes" for [...]

God Binds And Unblinds Us

Good morning... One new opportunity brought on by COVID is that the Upper School chapel services led by my husband Steve are shared virtually on YouTube. I received many positive responses from this week's message, so I thought I would share Steve's thoughts with you. What do we do the day after God's binding love begins to unblind [...]

Don’t Waste Good Wine

Good morning... I woke this morning with a verse saturating my mind. I got out of bed, went to my Bible, and searched for the verse. Here's what I found. "No one puts new wine into old wineskins; otherwise the [fermenting] wine will [expand and] burst the skins, and the wine is lost as well as the wineskins. But [...]

Are We Colorblind?

Good morning... "I don't see color," a long-time friend said over dinner the other night. I think she meant, "I take people as they are. I don't judge any person by the color of their skin. My diverse relationships are more than skin-deep." Growing up, when we said, "I don't see color," we thought we were being non-judgmental, [...]

Broken And Whole

Good morning... "Good morning, Sue," she texted today at 8:03 am. "This is the second morning your wonderful blog posts have a funky format and are not opening. Anyone else mention that?" God and I have been working on a computer issue with our web designer for the past thirty-six hours. Something with a server. Something with a [...]

The Gift Of Instability

Good morning... I recently ran across an old Youtube video of me teaching a living room full of ladies about transformation, metamorphosis, and being strengthened by God from the inside out. (Below you can see for yourself my taped introduction of our book, Scared To Soar? ) I chuckle at myself on video, seeing my banged hair with less [...]

Scared?

Good morning... A few months back, the leaders on the computer screen above asked me to be the 2020 kick-off speaker for the Lovett Moms In Prayer group, a group of mothers who pray weekly for our school and our community, our teachers and our administrators, our world and our children, kindergarten through twelfth grade. Speaking with this [...]
