If you read last week’s post, you will understand why new toilets and water pumps are a big deal around this house. Both happened today and now we can breathe a sigh of relief, no more water woes. As I thought about the word… Continue Reading “New”

Here we are, the day before Christmas. I think silent night was definitely the night before Jesus’ birth. Think about it, when He was born…A mother let go that last pushing delivery cry. A babe, God/man, let go birth cries as He inhaled stable… Continue Reading “Presence”

For a brief four weeks, whether most of the world gets it or not, our focus is redirected – to an event a little over 2000 years ago. I was thinking of Mary in those last couple weeks of pregnancy. Not in the comfort… Continue Reading “Fight of Faith”

I told God I had run out of words. I had nothing worth sharing. A gentle nudge – share Me. Two years ago the valley of the shadow engulfed us. Me in particular as I couldn’t reconcile the “whys”. So, I retreated. And that… Continue Reading “Finding our way”

Last week I was open and vulnerable with you – definitely not how I usually operate. I’m guessing you might not be that way either. I introduced the subject of suffering – in all it’s myriad forms: physical and/or emotional pain, fear (also known… Continue Reading “Time – for Truth”

If you’ve followed me for a while, you’ve probably noticed: I’ve gone missing. Heartache and pain struck our family last fall and I clammed up. For me, it’s chronic, debilitating physical pain. For my husband, a diagnosis that’s not good. There’s all kinds of… Continue Reading “Joy in Suffering?”

I know – I’ve been absent. For the first time in ten years. I’ve been a bit lost. How about you? It’s that time when all is glitter and lights and good cheer. Only sometimes…it’s not. I see it all around our broken world.… Continue Reading “He Came to Show Us”

I’m looking out over trees of yellow, red, orange – the valley below is showing its array of colors as well. Winter is coming early to the mountains this year. The first freeze is only days away. A young woman at the farmers market… Continue Reading “Changing”

Morning person or night owl? I’ve always been an early riser – love to greet the day (these days earlier than necessary but that’s an age thing and a whole other subject, not going there). In that stillness of pre-dawn, I pad around while… Continue Reading “Every Morning”

I’m a words person. Years ago, Gary Smalley wrote the 5 Love Languages; mine is words. Flowers don’t do it. Gifts are ok. But a card with love words and additional handwritten sentiment, that’s what means the most to me. Our voice isn’t just… Continue Reading “What we need to: hear”
