Good morning... "Sue," she texted yesterday, "we are also at the beach on St. George island. This morning we watched the sun rise in the east and to the west we saw dark threatening clouds moving across our beautiful island. But looking up between the light and the darkness was a full rainbow celebrating God's promise of his [...]
Good morning... At the beginning of this stormy week, I watched the sun rise. On my way back from the beach, I happened upon a slender, cream colored cat. Completely ignoring the warm sun at her back, this elegant little creature was caught gobbling down garbage. The image reminds me of an email I recently received [...]
Good morning... Deep prayer is MINE to do, so with God I experienced yesterday's eerie extremes. "I don't watch the news often," I wrote in my 99-cent, black leather journal brought home from Goodwill, "but I feel drawn to do so today, this unique day of death and debris." Enveloped in the eerie silence, I watched the Dignified [...]
Good morning... Waking on this Sabbath morn, my muddied heart sits still amid high winds and hard rains of various kinds. Though I am safely up the coast, I feel a prayerful solidarity with those hunkered down in the path of Hurricane Ida. I am praying, minute by minute, for the daughter of a dear friend who finally [...]
Good morning... A really wise friend who I admire profusely sent me a very honest article. "Great message today Sue!" she emailed me after yesterday's blog post After A Stormy Day. "Saw this last night - similar idea." I felt relieved, hopeful and energized after reading the following words. ****** If you can't take in anymore, there's a [...]
Good morning... Yesterday was a stormy day for many of us. Chaos, injury, and death in Afghanistan. COVID patients crowding our hospital beds. The ugly affects of gun violence and suicide bombers, Alzheimers and ALS, cancer and rare diseases ravaging the lives of people we love. Yesterday was a really hard, stormy day for many of us. Somehow [...]
Good morning... I drove to Grayton Beach, Florida for a planning time with Kitty Crenshaw and Cathy Snapp as we prepare for our November 6th Awake To Wholeness Women's Retreat at Peachtree Road United Methodist Church in Atlanta. As I have said previously, "Please save the date." And now I can add, "Yes," we are working on a [...]
Good morning... This week, I happened across this verse of the day on Biblegateway.com. When I said, “My foot is slipping,” your unfailing love, Lord, supported me. When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy (Psalm 94:18-19, NIV). It's kinda like a much-needed oil change. Isn't it? The fearful foot-slipping sensation is exchanged for the [...]
Good morning... When I returned from speaking at the Lovett Moms In Prayer kick-off yesterday morning, I came home pondering, "God, what were You really trying to say through me?" As I prayerfully processed a smattering of thoughts, I deepened down into the roots beneath the talk I had just given to a room full of hopeful moms [...]
Good morning... With summer tipping into fall, my husband and I went to the first high school football game of the season. Lights. Crowds. A buzzing excitement. I could not help but snap a photo of the exuberance of heaven pouring into the ruggedness of earth. Earth feels really rugged right now. There are a lot of rough [...]
