Good morning... I met a powerful poem, a poem I have shared repeatedly this week. In person and over the phone. With our small groups and with a few soul friends. Reading slowly, reading twice, we have noticed together the words which touch us most deeply. Like Moses leading beloved followers through the wilderness, today might this poem [...]
Good morning... 89 cents. 89 cents. 89 cents. Plus my 25% Tuesday discount at Goodwill, since I am happily over fifty-five. I spent a whopping $2.00 on a threesome of aromatherapy candles, each with a uniquely delicious scent. One for the morning. One for the daytime. One for the nite nite. I did not know what would happen [...]
Good morning... With one week to go until Christmas Eve, I share with you a touching music video. An elementary school Christmas concert sings with clarity the journey of our Christian faith. Take a moment, with eyes opened or closed, to savor the sound of our Savior's story sung through the solo of one talented child. Touch on [...]
Good morning... ...Sue...
Good morning... After a fun filled weekend, God just woke me from sleep around 1:00 am, nudging me to read two emails which waited patiently in my inbox. "As you know we are studying Discerning the Voice of God by Priscilla Shirer," wrote a loyal leader of our Banquet Bible study, the longest running study at Northside Church, [...]

Today is Day #4 since she tested positive, and we hope to see a turn around soon. Today [...]

With email responses piling up from this morning's message, Praying for Olga, I offer us an intimate update from Ukraine. Throughout the day, I have heard from many of you who yearn to join our hearts in prayer on behalf [...]
Good morning... In her blog post from The Hidden Life Awakened website, this week co-author Kitty Crenshaw shared with us a loving update. ***** Dearest Friends, Betty is gone now, but the peace of her presence is with us in a new and perhaps more powerful way. She often said, "I can do more for you from there than [...]
Good morning... As I put a frame around yesterday morning, from 3:00 am to 11:30 am, I hear one four letter word repeated. See if your spirit picks up the surround sound of God's Spirit. 3:00 am - our SueToYou devotional, Rest Is A Gift 5:00 am - Henri Nouwen devotional 6:59 am - Northside Church's devotional 7:27 [...]
Good morning... At my request, our twenty-two year old daughter sent me this photo snapped on her morning run. She has graduated from college, has landed her first temporary job, and is now settling in at home for a season of saving up for the future which lies ahead of her. "I am discovering that I like running [...]
