I’ve been on a little break from writing online. I spent a month fully focused on the book. No, I didn’t finish it, in case you were wondering. But it was a quiet peaceful break from everything online. I had a writing coach look at my table of contents and some of my chapters. A […]

I read this verse this morning and my first thought was an image of a man floating in the ocean at night after a shipwreck. There are some saints I feel a little safer trying to imitate. I would never pick Paul. A man content in any circumstance. A man who needed to be blind […]

  We were always meant to work. That is why the desire is in each of us. We all want to create and tend, to build and multiply all that we have been given. Even the lazy among us has a desire for the results of work. There is just a disconnect in what they […]

Because sometimes I don’t know how my day needs to unravel until I begin my conversation with my heavenly Father. What will He reveal? Often it is the same thing from Thursday or the same things that were revealed on a random January afternoon. I am on this path of loving Him. And if I […]

She had a bible hidden in her dress. She wanted to keep this bible so she prayed: “Lord, cause now […]

I love small jewel box type rooms. The ones Victorian houses are famous for. Every room is it’s own sequestered nook. No modern day open floor plan where all the family activities are done in the same big open space. The Victorians made lovely draped in rooms. Specific rooms for specific activities. The library for […]

It is not that God hides his path from us, He does not take us down pathways only to leave us there with nothing but an intersection ahead. I imagine God standing there on the main path watching me as I run into some beautiful meadow and pick flowers to take home and put in […]

Clarity seems to come when we get quiet. When we clear away dying things that are no longer useful. When we stop asking others for direction and go straight to the God who “knows when I sit down and when I rise up; You discern my thoughts from afar.” (Psalm 139:2). If there ever was […]
