Why The New Look?

Good morning... There are many reasons why today our posts are changing format. Streamlining my writing process in the early morning hours will be a time-saver for me. Touching the "Everyday Blog" tab, you can easily scrolling back to enjoy old messages you may have missed. It drives me crazy when the print font is funky and inconsistent; this [...]

Get Outside

Good morning... "Most days I eat breakfast and/or lunch on my back porch. Our dogs sit at my feet or play in the yard. The big sky opens wide to offer art lessons. Trees and leaves slow-dance with the breeze. Birds and butterflies, squirrels and chipmunks, all God's creatures frolic in freedom. Fresh air fills my lungs and rejuvenates [...]

This Is Not Sustainable

Good Morning... "This is not sustainable," whispered the stunning sentence waking me from sleep on October 20, 2017. Journaling with God in dark, wee hours. Blogging daily and responding to subscribers. Co-shepherding the Women's Ministry at church, praying, teaching, guiding. Being an attentive wife and mom, a loyal friend and daughter. Peacefully providing spiritual direction to those seeking to hear [...]

God’s Perfect Time and Quirky Ways

Good Morning... As I soaked in the stillness of the Ignatius House Retreat Center, choice words of reflection came to rest upon my page. "Safe. Secure. Simple. That was my old unblemished life. Through a series of large, crashing waves, God separated me from the life of my childhood dreams. Clarity, comfort, connection all tumbled, tumbled, tumbled away. With God saying 'no' [...]

On Retreat With Our Broken Beauty

Good Morning... I wake the morning after our "With God Weather Life" retreat. I miss the women who experienced with me calming waves of candlelit, colorful sand and shells, Scripture and silence, sacred reading and solitude's rest. For one night and two days, we weathered waves and waves of transformative wisdom. By the Bible, select authors, and one another's [...]

Decide To Live Divided No More

Good morning... "...the people who plant seeds of a movement make a critical decision: they decide to live 'divided no more,'" observes Parker Palmer in Let Your Life Speak, the book I will be teaching on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays next semester. "They decide no longer to act on the outside in a way that contradicts some truth about [...]

Sturdy Work Boots

Good morning... I love, love, love my black, well-worn Frye boots. Yesterday was the first day I donned those precious puppies as autumn tips toward winter. When I pulled my boots over my socks, I thought of a phrase that appears in one of my favorite verses in the Message translation of holy scripture. A green Shoot will sprout [...]

Is This A God-Thing?

Good morning... After Jesus' death and resurrection, the world's power people were trying to silence the apostles. "Stop talking about this Jesus!" they demanded. When pressed to choose between obeying God and obeying men, the first followers chose God, sharing personally about Jesus everywhere they went. When the council members heard this, they became so angry that they wanted [...]

God’s Magnetic Pull Forward

Good Morning... His emaciated body was loudly struggling for each breath. As I curled up beside him in bed, I rested my hand on his boney back and whispered in his ear, "You're doing a great job getting yourself to heaven. You're almost there. In just a little while, you'll be welcomed home." The next day he passed over [...]
