Friends, are you feeling a little anxious this morning? Let's take a moment for a Breath Prayer together. I shared this video with my churches this morning and thought maybe you'd like to join us in prayer too.
Wisdom Shouts in Street
Here is a rough transcript of my homily from worship this morning. The video was more of a service with prayer time and readings but it ended up weird because I was trying not to be too loud because of people sleeping in the next room so instead of sharing the video here, I’m sharing...

Making the best of it
Wow, I just knew I’d be back over here in a day or two after my last post but then things went wonky. I started trying to decide whether our little churches should continue to meet on Sunday mornings. We are a predominately elderly (over 70) congregation but we are also very small. I had...

I think I’m back
So, my friends, you may have noticed that I took a bit of a hiatus from my blog. Well, really it was just from writing in general. Things got overwhelming in my little life and I had to let some things go for a while. I took time for me. Time to rest (I thought),... Continue Reading →

A Big One…
I had a BIG birthday last month. Yep, I am now 50 years young. You may be thinking... "ahh... that's why she's been struggling!" Nope. That's not it. It's a million other things that I don't feel like I am able to share on this platform. Turning 50 has actually been great. In fact, it's... Continue Reading →
