Word of the year- discernment
As the calendar year once again turns my heart and mind have been musing about a guiding word of the year. I find this practice more suited to me then a new year’s resolution. Referring back to my last blog on spiritual endurance, I thought endurance or perseverance might be a guiding force. Although these…

Spiritual Endurance
Did you ever go through a season of obligation where you found yourself pouting like a child that hasn’t gotten what they wanted? I was recently listening to a Max Lucado sermon as I often do and he told the story of a little girl crying on the steps of her summer camp. She was…

Prayer as a tool to peace
I humbly admit that most of my blog ideas stem from far wiser and prolific wisdom teachers and preachers. Lately I have been listening to sermons from Pastor Max Lucado.

Choosing faith over fear
Inspiration and hope arise when we have eyes to see and hearts that are not blocked to whimsey and divinely inspired truths. The other day I stumbled on such a truth on a box of tea, I have been drinking the same tea for years and never noticed that there were quotes on the box.…

Your grace is enough
As we move into February my invitation to you is to consider that your grace is enough. While the days are getting a bit longer there is still more darkness than light, winter blues of various colors and textures may be setting in. The thermometer has been dipping enough to make Mr. Freeze euphoric but…

The call of nature
Father God, I pray, hope and trust that those that call you God and also those that do not will hear you say their name. I pray that all will hear you in the wind, both in the gales that seem endless and in the gentle breeze that alights the face with the most delicate…
