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 […]

Since we’re just getting into the New Year, I thought I’d share a personal story about making New Year’s resolutions. It’s always good to reflect on those things you accomplished in the old year and consider things you might want to do differently now. Many of us actually find that doing a little personal inventory […]
You may not remember the last time you did some deep knee bends, at least not intentionally! After all, your knees aren’t quite as young as they used to be. Bending in any way may come with assorted creaks and moans, but that’s okay. God appreciates your efforts, especially when you get down on your […]
So, when it comes to praying, I’m fickle! Sometimes, I’m caught up in the moment, lost in God’s warmth and Presence, and feeling awed at our amazing connection. At those times, I don’t want to stop praying at all. I just want to hang out there and bask in the moment. We’ve talked. We’ve understood […]
