We Gather Together

  Perhaps it’s intentional that we end each year with special celebrations. We get together with family and friends. We plan who will make each pie and casserole. We pour through our favorite recipes enjoying the thought that we might just outdo ourselves this year. We call a truce on family conflicts and do all […]

“I Ran!”

Perhaps we spend a lifetime exploring our heritage, figuring out where we came from and where we belong. We grow up hearing stories of our parents and grandparents and though some of those impact us, we go on to create our own stories, sometimes without looking back.

You Can Reconcile with a Crocodile

  I recently listened to a sermon on reconciliation.  It was a great sermon which included six steps intended to help you get past an offense you are still holding in your mind. It doesn’t seem to matter to your psyche who was at fault, though you’re pretty sure it wasn’t you. It turns out […]

Where Do I Go?

Where do I go   when I don’t know, just what to do? When I’ve stayed still,   seeking Your will, without a clue?   Where do I go  when life is so, out of control? When nothing’s right,  and there’s no light to fill my soul?   Where do I go   when I’m so […]

When Fear Comes Knocking

Fear is arrogant. It barges into your life and never apologizes for anything. It paints your soul with uncertainty and makes you dread something you can’t even define. It’s deliberate and smug. It imagines you simply can’t get rid of it. Perhaps it helps to face fear head on. Determine its cause. Define it. One […]

Older, Golder, Bolder

I just had a birthday. I share that because it was one of those milestone birthdays, the kind that may have escaped your notice when you were waiting to turn 21, or maybe even 30. It was a birthday that greeting card companies handle with age gags that are amusing, but not necessarily funny. It […]
