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...

Midweek Lenten Devotional Week 2
Breath. We barely even give it a thought and yet it is vital to life… in more ways than one. Our scripture reading comes from Romans 8:26-28, 38-39 “Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but that very Spirit intercedes with sighs too...

It’s Going to Be Okay
This advent I’ve been preaching on Joy – hopeful joy, loving joy, unabashed joy, and today will be peaceful joy. Hopeful joy – I shared how we can find hope and joy in the most unexpected places. I had a memorial service the day before and so I was able to share how even in... Continue Reading →

Out to the Universe
I know... I just shared my Wonderful Wednesday post... I should be feeling good! I should be feeling blessed! Instead, I'm sitting here feeling... down, a little sad even. Maybe it's discouragement, maybe it's frustration, maybe I'm just tired. I don't know. I know it's more of yesterday's post lingering. I had to go in and... Continue Reading →
Empty Nester Moms – Unite!
A couple of nights ago, my darling daughter informed me (via text) she was planning a trip to Chicago with a friend. I gulped, my eyes got big and I said... ok. This actually sent terror through my heart. My baby girl, going to Chicago without her dad to protect her?? What kind of crazy... Continue Reading →
