Well, it’s been a while… again. I haven’t been able to write. Our country has gone crazy and I feel sad, afraid, and mad as all get out! But I haven’t wanted to write about it. I’ve also done some traveling. That’s been fun! I took DD on a road trip to Texas across... Continue Reading →

Experiencing God
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 →
Lament #2
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 →

This week, I'm trying to find the artist in me, so yesterday, I grabbed my camera, my real canon camera, not just my phone (it's been a long time since I've done this), the dog, my jacket and we went for a nice nature walk. I stopped and got in weird positions (the leash was... Continue Reading →
Life Purpose
I've been thinking about Life purpose for a while now... Well, like my whole life, really. I think about my personal purpose. Why am I here? What is my significance? What am I supposed to be doing? Do I even a purpose? Do any of us? Is there really some big plan? Is there one... Continue Reading →
Struggles…
I’ve really been struggling lately… oh, who am I kidding, I’ve been struggling for quite some time now. I’m struggling with the “church”. The idea, the institution, whatever you want to call it. In the midst of all these struggles, the church where my membership currently resides, asked recently if I wanted to be “removed... Continue Reading →
Mantra for today
Lord, Help me. Lead me. Guide me. Inspire me. Please. Amen. And so it is.
Healthy(ier) eating
I'm really trying to get my health going in the right direction again... one meal at a time. I'm not going to lie, it's not easy. You know what is easy? Running down the street to Culver's, or downtown for Mexican, or Italian... But... it's easier on my pocketbook and my cholesterol if I cook... Continue Reading →
