Good morning... "Mom has been down with a virus," said the caringbridge message written by Betty Skinner's daughter, Betsy, on August 11th. "She was not tested for Covid, and has been in isolation for the past several weeks. The health center is again prohibiting visits to rooms, and she wants no porch visits. She says, 'I feel so [...]
Good morning... What a privilege it is to be the Women's Ministry Director at Northside Church here in Atlanta. Since January of 2008, our Program Coordinator and I have been a well-balanced team seeking to connect women in our community to the power of our multi-faceted God. Every August, we announce our new classes for the fall semester. [...]
Good morning... Rescued people are my favorite breed of cat. I really relate with those who have felt lost, lonely, shipwrecked, those who have cried out to God from their innermost being, "Rescue me from the swamp. Don’t let me go under for good.

Good morning... After a morning of yard work, I sat on the couch to relax for a moment. A new-to-me music video reached out from our TV.

Here's a picture from where [...]
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 [...]
Good morning... After yesterday's post, Life Is A Marathon, I received a brief email from Gina Palermo, the artist who snapped this stunning photo beginning and ending our morning message. "That pix reminds me of the scripture that says that the Lord will come in the clouds… Rev 1:7 - Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and [...]
Good morning... I am a non-runner, a total non-runner. Yet I am married to a man who runs most every day, a husband who over his lifetime has completed five marathons, each under three hours. So watching the Olympic marathons with Steve, the race for the women and the race for the men, was a fun part of [...]
Good morning... "I came home from the beautiful memorial service," I wrote in my journal, "exhausted from listening, exhausted from crying, exhausted from socializing.
