Good morning... Ending yesterday's blog post, one sentence from the Scripture verse returns to me during the dark hours of this new night. "Isaiah’s question, 'Is there anyone around who knows God’s Spirit, anyone who knows what he is doing?' has been answered: Christ knows, and we have Christ’s Spirit," says 1 Corinthians 2:16 (ERV). My mind now [...]
Good morning... Fireworks are fun, fascinating, fantastic. All of my senses wake up as I look at this photo, taken twenty-one days ago on the 4th of July beside the tiny Pennsylvania lake where Steve's family has vacationed annually for over a hundred years. Can you sense the booming sound, the sulfury smell, the spectacular sight, the exciting [...]
Good morning... In a recent blog post, we identified five of our innermost senses, senses which partner with the power of the Holy Spirit at work within us each day. Intuition. Imagination. Perception. Will. Reason. One reader wrote: "The human brain and our DNA as God made it is more powerful than any machine. A machine only knows [...]
Good morning... "Sue," wrote a friend from our Monday afternoon study group, which is quietly off for the summer months. "Such a wonderful message from Kate Bowler this week! Hope your summer is going well and the much anticipated wedding arriving so soon! Happy days to you!" I touch on the link she shared and breathe in the [...]
Good morning... "Sue," she wrote. "Here is something for you that I learned and wrote down but do not remember where I heard it. We have 5 senses. Intuition Imagination Perception Will Reason All operate with the Holy Spirit within us. Life expands when these are exercised." My soul is tickled. I am drawn back to one word, [...]
Good morning... "That is a beautiful song, Sue!" My friend wrote after Monday's blog post including Emmy Rose's stripped down rendition of the song 'Same God'. "Thank you for sharing it with me. It's funny, I was dreaming a song this morning in my head, which I can't remember, but it had something to do with being in [...]
Good morning... “I will lead the blind by a way they do not know; I will guide them in paths that they do not know," God said through Isaiah 42:16 (AMP) to end yesterday's blog post. "I will make darkness into light before them and rugged places into plains. These things I will do [for them], and I [...]
Good morning... I happened upon an interesting quote by Corrie Ten Boom, who, along with her family members, helped many Jewish people escape from the Nazis during the Holocaust in World War II by hiding them in her home. "Is prayer your steering wheel or your spare tire?" A spare tire is used only in emergencies. Pulled out [...]
Good morning... As she sat beside the piano, her need was deep and her voice was crystal clear. She sang out to the God of Jacob and Moses, of Mary and David. The same God who worked back then works in us now. Providing. Moving in power. Healing. Saving. Facing the challenges of our daily lives, we call [...]
Good morning... I think back on a phone conversation I had with a friend this week, a friend stuck in a dark place. She read aloud to me a poignant quote from the book Let God: Spiritual Conversations with Francois Felenon by Winn Collier. "We shouldn't give much energy toward trying to see precisely how God is working [...]
