Provision is Constant
We fill our lives with what we believe will make us happy, when all we really need is an open path to what God has already laid before us.
I am, but God is
It’s comforting to sit among friends to share how difficult it is (life makes it) (circumstances dictate) (inspiration absent) to wait to do what I’m supposed to, meant to, what I promised to do. Circumstances don’t define me. My life is bigger than that. Life needn’t suffocate me. I can choose air, light, breath. Inspiration […]
Stuck in the middle
That moment when you’re r e a c h i n g as far, no, farther than you’ve ever reached before. Just a little. bit. more. S T R E T C H I N G further, and further, closer than you’ve ever been before. Your thighs are burning oh, it h u r t […]
Hi Daddy! Hi Daddy!
Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it. ~ Proverbs 22:6 I’m sorry, but yes they will. Some will step off accidentally and stumble right back on. Some will wander off, oblivious to your calls and whistles. Some will investigate that very […]
150 reasons why we are free today: gratitude flashmob
Have you ever noticed how contagious gratitude can be? I just had the opportunity, thanks to the William & Mary DC area Alumni organization, to welcome an Honor Flight coming into Reagan National Airport. On it were men and women who had served in WWII, Korea and Vietnam who were flown into Washington, DC so they could tour […]
Show us the way back to you
We are what we eat. We resemble the company we keep. We become what we think about. We are not who we think we are. Beloved, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. ~ Phil 4:8 […]
There’s been an explosion, but there is no bomb
Shell-shocked. I’m flattened, literally, thrown to the ground by the hand grenades being heaved in my land. There’s been a bombing, but there’s no shrapnel, no visible debris, just many, many injuries. Bodies strewn everywhere, writhing in pain. Bandaging their wounds, wrapping their torn limbs. Some, sitting motionless on the cement, with hands pressed to […]
Which do you believe?
“There’s probably no God so stop worrying and enjoy life” …read the back of the service van weaving through the crowds gathered to marvel at St. Stephen’s Cathedral, where all are welcome to enter free of charge. When ‘probably not’ opens the door to ‘possibly is’ the great bolt of worry slides aside to unlock a […]
Reconstruction Zone
Building from the ground uP is beautiful. Neat. Clean. Polished. Precise. But Remodeling from the inside OUT is messy. Ripping. Rending. Gashes. Holes. Cover it over with shiny granite, sparkling porcelain, brushed nickel, stainless steel. Impregnable, in its newness. No one will ever see what’s under the remodeling. Thank God only Me and Thee have seen […]
