It’s sort of funny but also sad. I learned from the internet that this saying is not in the bible. Then I found images with this saying on it and someone else saying it was a bible verse. I’m sharing this, because we are told to seek and we will find. This I know is […]

I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of God in the land of the living. Psalm 27:13   A man suffering with some kind of infirmity, probably paralyzed or lame, lay beside the pool of Bethesda. Did he echo David the Psalmist as he laid there watching […]

In the 1600’s a young soldier named Nicholas Herman decide to devote his life to following God and learning more about Christ. He joined a monastery and took the name Brother Lawrence of the Resurrection. He worked for the most part in the kitchen. Through the decades Brother Lawrence learned, what Christ had also known, […]

When we used to live on a military base there were certain people that had a popular bumper sticker that said something about how being a wife of someone in the military was the hardest job in the military… something like that.

Before it was gathered, before it was cooked in pans, before it was a cake spicy and sweet tasting of pastry cooked […]

I stare out a window at bare winter worn branches, but earlier in the week, the day I woke up early like I’m supposed to; I looked out to a sunrise all soft and pink and lovely. My mind shifts to the prayer. I don’t remember what I said or if I said much of […]

I’m thinking about the havens we create. What we allow in and what we say no thank you to. What we compromise on and what we hold our ground on. What is required for each of us to say, “I can rest here.” Towels. Big, fluffy, towels fresh from a dryer with the scent of […]
