Good morning... I, only half jokingly, said to my husband, "If I were someone else, I am not sure I would want to be my friend. I am close to so many people struggling with so much. I wonder if I, as a friend, am somehow a lightening rod for bad luck!" Loss of a child, a spouse, a [...]
Good morning... Two weeks ago today, I felt nudged by God to open my home from 11:30 am to 1:00 pm. The Spirit urged me to invite early for lunch three of the women in my 1:00 pm Tuesday class. I wanted to support these friends with a private time to talk and to pray together as they supported [...]
Good morning... What a beautiful, invisible web God is weaving between us. I caught a glimmering glimpse of God yesterday following my post, "Interpreting my dream." I received the email below from a "sue2you" subscriber I have never met from Pennsylvania, and the overlapping details of her life and mine are beyond human understanding. I am in awe of [...]
Good morning... In the middle of the night, I woke from a dream. I went back to sleep and I just woke again. I felt profound peace in the middle of the night, and now I am trying to piece together the dream details and mine for their meaning. Here is the dream I experienced last night. Behind our [...]
Good morning... I crack up at God's timing and God's surround sound in our everyday lives. A few days back, my post was entitled "'Practicing' God's perspective," encouraging us to see our real selves, every person we meet, and the vibrant creation around us through the compassionate eyes of God. I crafted the post and sent it out. Then [...]
Good morning... We are invited into real relationship with a compassionate Creator who is actively at work in our everyday lives. How much of this living, loving God do we tap into on a daily basis, when we are tired or lonely, when we are making important decisions for ourselves and our loved ones, when there are so many [...]
Good morning... A friend in our "sue2you" community shared with me this interesting quote from Ram Dass. "When you go out into the woods and you look at the trees, you see all these different trees. And some of them are straight, and some of them are evergreens, and some of them are whatever. And you look at the [...]
Good morning... My maternal grandmother told fascinating stories. Even though she lived in Kansas and I lived in Ohio, visits with her as I aged became increasingly meaningful. Two of her life stories I remember most vividly have shaped my life of faith. First, my grandmother was raised as an oldest child on the western frontier. When she was [...]
Good morning... On Easter morning, our college students requested to go to the Cobb Energy Center for the Passsion City worship service. So, we as a family of seven (my husband and I, our four kids, plus our year long Chinese exchange student) hopped in two cars and drove into the crowded excitement. David Crowder, Kristian Stanfill, and other [...]
Good morning... Four of us were talking, my self, my friend who will begin chemo therapy treatments today, and two mutual friends, one a cancer survivor and the other a "through thick and thin" friend for years and years. The long lasting friend said, "You are going to need to let go of things, let go and let God." [...]
