4am and lost in thought. Thinking of dreams unrealized and promises broken. Leadings of God not followed and the unhappy consequences of those actions. Praying a little. “God, you know what I want to do with my life, right?”, even as I look forward at the years which lie ahead to realize that the number …
Maybe, Just Maybe
I marvel as he continues to draw me even still, and it causes the flickers of hope to ignite within me that maybe,
My Pastor Said, “Timing”.
No matter how Broken You Are, No matter how low you feel, No matter how blind you are, I promise The God of Heaven sees you. On the way home I was thinking about when the disciples asked Jesus why a certain man was blind. It was on my mind because of a conversation I …
River
The sunrise was soft this morning, providing a gentle light that didn't hurt the eyes as one drove toward the east. I generally take the road that allows my car to move in curvy swervey patterns since it follows the shoreline of the river. It's a peaceful commute that changes visually with every season and …
The Sting of an Insect, Blind With Rage
I have the right to dress in a white sheet and preach white supremacy, but I don't. I have the right to create art that desecrates the image of Christ and his disciples, but I don't. I have the right to do a lot of things in this country - and I will defend the …

– Solitude and The Least of These –
I chose solitude today, for Thanksgiving. My daughter, is in Florida at school. She spent the day working in a soup kitchen with her peers, so I am not worried for her, knowing that ministering to others has not only distracted her from missing us here at home, but has also enriched her character. My …
Whom are you loving today?
There was a time in my life when I was at a crossroads, and a friend taught me by her example, how to love someone. It was a most unhappy time when a choice begged to be made - things could not continue as they were - changes needed to happen. I was at a loss …
~ When you are in the Wilderness ~
We can find beauty in the most barren of surroundings. Today during a blessed conversation with a person whom I consider to be a true friend, I remembered Jacob from the Bible, and how the Lord visited him in the wilderness even though he had just deceived his father and "stolen" his brother's birthright. He bargained for …
