Most of us feel uncertain when we’re surrounded by darkness. Dark country roads and dark city streets can shake us up a bit, reminding us how vulnerable we are. We hear more sudden noises and see more shadows in the tiny bits of light around us. Even childhood images of being in dark places flash […]
Sometimes, I look at the woman in the mirror and I try to imagine what I would do differently if I could start again. What if I could turn back time, have the perspective I have now, and make wiser choices. What if I could get it right more often, follow the rules more clearly, […]
Making progress! Moving on! Yes, that’s what we want. We want to feel like we’re getting somewhere and that what we’re doing is worth the effort. We want to stop looking back and just keep our faces toward the sun. Oh, that sounds good! So, what gets in the way? Why is it that we […]
Ever since the New Year began, my phone has been blowing up with scammers! They come with bold, bald-faced lies of everything and anything they can do to get me to fall for their scheme. “Oh, you can now drive your car again,” said one. Well, I never stopped driving my car, so that one […]

Some of us show up pretty regularly at God’s doorstep. Generally, we’ve got our hat in our hands and we’re hoping we might share the things on our minds. We come with a sense that this is the place to be, the right thing to do, but with a nagging uncertainty about whether God will […]
Most of us believe in God with our whole hearts. We trust that He is with us through the ups and downs of life. We hold on to Him when things get shaky. Most of the time! What happens though when something is beyond our ability to simply keep believing? What happens when the events […]
Some years ago, I wrote a book for kids that I called, “Faith for Sale!” In my imaginary world, people could pass by a store front that offered “faith” in any quantity. If they were running low, they could pop in and get a cup of faith to go, just enough to recharge and help […]
As the New Year gets underway, I have a deep desire to send encouragement and love to my friends. You’ve blessed my life in so many ways, I can hardly count them all. You gave me support when things weren’t going as I hoped they would. You listened and didn’t judge my thoughts. You offered […]
