Ok, I drew an outline around this, but I think that we can all agree that this is a ‘heart-puddle’. It was in my driveway this morning and I had the privilege of seeing it and reflecting on it on my morning walk. You see, the more that you look, the more that youContinue reading “Do You See What I See?”

Wisdom hidden in pain
Hidden in every experience is wisdom. A loving God could never allow his children to hurt in vain. No action, word or experience is ever wasted. Everything in my life is there for a reason and behind that reason is love. Unfortunately, the hidden pearl cannot be found until the shell is cracked. We mustContinue reading “Wisdom hidden in pain”
A Taste of Heaven
So, I have begun to walk in the morning. My favorite time is just when the moon is humbly stepping aside to allow the sun to illuminate the day. I am determined to keep this up, health reasons being secondary, sanity my primary! Even though there was a wolf spotted at the topContinue reading “A Taste of Heaven”
To Continue…
And, the more that I think about Jesus saying, “Do not be afraid, just have faith” to a man whose little daughter has just died, the more I am both amazed and comforted. When I reflect on the many things that are ‘crosses’ in my life right now, none of them can compare with theContinue reading “To Continue…”
Lenten Hope
It’s just been a tough couple of weeks..certainly don’t want to compare myself to Job, but at my lowest moments, that’s where I’m going. Why is it that at times the struggles seem to come from every direction? No matter what I plan for my ‘lenten sacrifices/promises,’ God always has other plans. And so,Continue reading “Lenten Hope”

The Calm after the Storm
All of creation whispers the presence of God. Psalm 139 Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
free will…..friend or foe?
I can’t tell you how many times the kids in our program ask a question like, ‘if God didn’t want Adam and Eve to eat from that tree, why did he put it there in the first place?’ If we are honest, we’ve asked ourselves that very same question. Oh, we might phrase itContinue reading “free will…..friend or foe?”
45 minutes to spare?
Philip Yancey has been a favorite author of mine for some time. I just love his spirituality – no judgment – he seems to have some special insights about God, albeit most times admitting that God is beyond our understanding. I had the opportunity to hear him speak when he came to a nearby churchContinue reading “45 minutes to spare?”
