God’s Wind Wins

Good morning... 2 Peter 3:8-9 The Message [ The Day the Sky Will Collapse ] Don’t overlook the obvious here, friends. With God, one day is as good as a thousand years, a thousand years as a day. God isn’t late with his promise as some measure lateness. He is restraining himself on account of you, holding back [...]

Peaks And Valleys Of 2018

Happy New Year, my friend... I wake thinking to myself, "Yesterday, the last day of 2018, summed up well the peaks and the valleys of my entire year." Thinking back over your own yesterday, how did that one day encapsulate your whole year? Observation #1: I woke in Grayton Beach, Florida in the cozy home of a generous [...]

Experiment With Letting Go

Good morning... I happen upon an old quote from one of my favorite books. "Experiment with different forms of still and quiet," encourages well-loved author and speaker Brene Brown. "We all need to find something that works or us. To be honest, I'm never more open and emotionally clutter-free than when I'm walking alone outside. It's not technically [...]

Savor Sabbath: Be Still

Good morning... As we are still, we let go to let God lead. You, Lord, are my shepherd. I will never be in need. You let me rest in fields of green grass. You lead me to streams of peaceful water, and you refresh my life. You are true to your name, and you lead me along the [...]

God’s Light Spreads Through Us

Good morning... After reading yesterday's post, Be Still And See God, she wrote: "You have highlighted my favorite Bible verse. I love the idea of 'Be still/Let go and know that I am God.'" I agreed right away and shed more light: "Yes. I also love this verse. 'Be still (let go) and know that I am God [...]

Be Still And See God

Good morning... Still. Still. Still. It is the day after our Savior's birth. As dawn breaks again into our darkness, how are we to be guided by God's inextinguishable Light? This morning, I am drawn back into the pages of my friend Lisa's book to discern the practical nature of the Light piercing the extreme darkness caused by [...]

What Is Born This Christmas Morn?

Good morning... At the break of dawn, the Light of life enters our darkness. The darkness of grief, anxiety, depression. The darkness of fear, loneliness, uncertainty. The darkness of anger, illness, conflict. The all-powerful God, Creator of heaven and earth, squeezes His whole self into the tender skin of a baby, to bring us the beacon of inextinguishable [...]

My Funky Favorite Ornament

Good morning... Because our newly refinished hardwoods are not ready to welcome a fresh-cut tree our main floor, an eight-foot Virginia pine this year is set up in our basement, the space where God and I host individual and group spiritual direction sessions regularly. After a sacred session this week, she and I marveled at the tree. "What [...]
