When God says, “I Will”
This is for you, my friend. You are many. You are grieving, hurting, struggling, doubting. And you need answers. “Is God listening?” “Does He see?” “Does He care?” “How can I know […]
Wednesday Wisdom
It’s simple, really. Reading Proverbs this morning, I saw it clearly. Following God involves two simple commands: “Love My Word”, and “Live it.” Sometimes we try to complicate it, but these simple […]
Desperate Prayer
I’ve been there. You’ve been there. It is a desperate place, and it’s here that we fall instinctively to our knees. There is no other place to go. There is no other […]
Feeling Lost
It was a grand adventure. For a young mom with two preschoolers and an infant, taking Daddy to the airport was a HUGE deal. It didn’t happen very often, and the excitement […]
Chasing a Shadow

Meet Matthew
Yes, he’s a real person. He was not the most popular guy and he surely must have felt like an outcast. Matthew, the guy who has to collect taxes for the government. I […]
The Road Less Travelled
This is the journey you never wanted to take. The road less travelled. Or so you thought. Many have gone before and many will follow after. But that doesn’t make it any […]
Surviving Sports
Okay, Okay. I know that it is Super Bowl Sunday, and you are not going to read this because you think that I am a woman that doesn’t like sports and that […]
Every Hour
Especially in the dark ones. Grief and pain and loss surround us, and it is not coincidence that the songs of my youth fill my heart and my spirit when I am […]
Lethargic Liturgy
Believing in Creator God has never been difficult for me. What is hard to imagine is that someone could see the beauty and majesty of the mountains or swim in the ocean, […]
