Life is too short to not be myself…
Holy God, Creator of all things, Omnipotent, Omnipresent God, We are here today seeking you, trying to connect with you, to experience you in a meaningful way. Help us to hear your voice in the voice of our neighbors, in the song of the birds, and rustle of the wind in the leaves. Help us... Continue Reading →
Yesterday, I shared the message with a little congregation near my home. As I usually do, I thought I'd share that message here. How have you experienced God recently? How have you experienced the Holy Spirit? How have you experienced Jesus? Today is Trinity Sunday, a day to think about the Trinity but I’m going... Continue Reading →
God, Are you even there? Are you watching? Are you seeing this? As a parent, if my children were acting like this, I'd step in. We'd have some time out and some serious discussions on loving one another. Where are you? I've defended you countless times in too many of these situations! Where are you?... Continue Reading →
Lord, I no longer understand your people. I don’t even feel like I can talk to them anymore. I don't even want to talk to them anymore. So, I’m talking to You. Show me what to do, give me the words to share. How can I make a difference? Show me you are there and... Continue Reading →

Yesterday, DH and I visited the Auschwitz exhibit. It was so moving. The website said to plan for 120 minutes... they were a little off... we spent 3.5 hours there. I just felt like I needed to look at each and every photograph, listen to each story thoroughly. I owed it to the those who... Continue Reading →
So DH and I recently jumped on "The Morning Show" train. Wow. What a ride. Last night we watched the last episode available (we didn't know it was the last and we have no idea what we will be watching now!!). It's the one where Alex Levy has Covid. As we watched and remembered what... Continue Reading →
It's Sunday again and y'all, I haven't been to worship in a church building in quite a while. Sometimes I watch online, sometimes I don't. We are struggling right now with the "church" and "religion." I still believe, my faith is strong, but things just have not been feeling "right" lately and so we struggle.... Continue Reading →
