You do know it don’t you? You are the joy set before Him, set before Jesus, set before your Savior, set before the lover of your soul. “Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfector of our faith, who for the… Continue Reading “Sighs…”

At dusk last night clouds were backlit by a soon setting sun. Pinks took over where white puffs had just been. Streaks of peach arched from west to east. A canvas stretched sky wide. Brushstrokes of the Master Artist. This morning a bluest blue canvas greeted… Continue Reading “Brushstrokes…”

When I sit, my leg is swinging or my toe is tapping. It’s not a matter of impatience or boredom. It’s that inner fidgeter saying ‘What’s next?’ ‘Shouldn’t you be doing something?’ Lately I’ve been reading about happiness – seemingly one of the authors had… Continue Reading “Hope for the Fidgeter…”

It happened again. Most people don’t realize it takes two years (at least) from the time a pineapple top is planted till it flowers and grows a pineapple. I’ve grown a few, then last year a thief gnawed one clean off the stem and… Continue Reading “Pineapple Bandits…”

Spending time – the only sure way to truly know another soul. Sometimes a brief chat on the phone lifts our spirits, but nothing replaces a good heart-to-heart, hours-long soul searching with someone you love and care about. I’ve had the privilege to bare my soul and… Continue Reading “InSight…”

Ever turn out the lights at one end of the house only to realize one isn’t on in the bedroom where you were headed? Sometimes I try to just walk through the dark (slowly) and find my way – sometimes I flick back… Continue Reading “Night Light…”

I’ve decided the weather anchors shouldn’t say ‘partly cloudy’. Why not partly sunny? Instead of chances of rain, what about the chances of sun? It’s all how we look at it. The Father calls us to be light, to bring light to dark… Continue Reading “Partly Sunny…”

I love the movies where ants are the characters and even a blade of grass seems ten stories tall. Match boxes are houses, thimbles are boats, cats are ferocious beasts. A whole new perspective. That’s us in the universe. Even our planet earth… Continue Reading “Big God – Small Us…”

When my daughter was little and had something really important to tell me she would climb up beside me, move my hair, and whisper her news. Whisper moments were precious and I listened carefully. I’ve noticed in a crowd it’s not the noisy conversations… Continue Reading “Whispers Are Louder…”

For a four year old the shallow end of the pool is safe, but the deep end, forget it. The shallow end is where we want our lives to be – safe, familiar, nothing we can’t handle. In this life, before we know it, something… Continue Reading “And…the Brave”
