With the same care that we consult a…

Insignificant until finding the One Who Sees Me

June 13, 2016

Insignificant until finding the One who sees Me

Have you ever felt invisible? It’s an odd feeling. Being insignificant. Like when you walk into a room full of people and no one turns a head to greet you? Or, when you get up from your chair and not a soul responds to your pending departure? I can’t help but glance at others to see…

Dipping into Memories

January 29, 2016

Extraordinary adventures fill my memories of last year.  As I pause to reflect, I begin to grasp the depth and breadth of the experiences of 2015.

November 20, 2015

In biblical times, artisans played a vital role in community life. Potters, carpenters, leatherworkers, silversmiths, tentmakers and weavers provided necessary goods and services. The market hosted stall after stall of the wares from these skilled workers. Knowledge and tools were passed through generations and apprenticeships. Most artisans oversaw every step of their production process. A…

Refresh Your Soul

July 15, 2015

Lately, soul care has not been part of my life. I am embarrassed to say how easily I slipped out of the daily habits that had been cornerstones in my spiritual walk. Through incredible highs and lows — including the celebration of our daughter’s graduation and the loss of a beloved member of our family (my father-in-law Bob)…

Aaron’s Story

June 20, 2015

Sometimes, life moves along so smoothly. During those times, I coast through the days carefree and light-hearted. Viewing life through the lenses of its intricacies and beauty comes easily during these days. I ponder life. I journal. Life is good. When the hard times descend, however, everything changes. It is then that I wrestle and battle…

Am I Too Comfortable in this Life?

February 11, 2015

When I am home, I auto-pilot my way through most daily tasks. Even driving. When I returned from the grocery store yesterday, I barely recalled the drive home. Scary stuff. My mind lapsed into replaying conversations from the day, then making dinner plans, then deciding what to include in a new book proposal. My body,…
