There is this place I call “miracle space”. It’s the space in which God’s glory is revealed in the colors of our world, the smells, shapes, sounds, contours, and textures all round us. It’s the space not found looking at the rose, but the gazing of the symmetrical layers of the rose petals, the vibrant color,…

The Perfect Christmas Gift
It’s Christmas Eve and all the shopping is done. The stores are closing early, and you can’t express order at this point. Then it comes, that gnawing feeling of “Did I do enough?” If you then, imperfect as you are, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father…
Imagine more than enough: Simple Grace
When I was around 12 years old, I fell in love with the music and artist Olivia Newton John. I had all her albums, and I knew, not only the songs that hit the charts, but also the obscure songs no one really listened to. One of the songs I enjoyed singing was “Never Enough”…
Misfits find an Open Door
Belonging. The simplest of clubs have a set of qualifications or bylaws in which you follow to belong. If you don’t have the qualifications then you don’t belong. Most of our lives we either belong, or feel out-of-place–“misfits”. We don’t fit the mold or expectations. In some cases, we are okay with the lack of…
In My Daughter’s Eyes
Mother: Looking into the manger of baby Jesus, It makes me wonder about Mary as a mother. When Jesus searched His earthly mother’s eyes for the first time, did Mary weep? Did she, like all mothers in that bonding moment, cry tears of joy? Mothers, go back in your mind to that moment in the…
The Way of Love
I Corinthians 13 If I speak with human eloquence and angelic ecstasy but don’t love, I’m nothing but the creaking of a rusty gate. Chapter 13 of I Corinthians describes a holy love called agape. The essence of agape love is goodwill, benevolence, and willful delight in the object of love. Unlike our English word…
Dar Luz–The Light Has Come
In the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth, the earth was a formless void and darkness covered the face of the deep, while a wind from God swept over the face of the waters. Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. And, God saw that the light was…
Are you an innovator?
I was recently asked to speak to a group of high school students about my desire to pursue my doctorate, and how I persevered. Here is the result of that request and my work utilizing Prezi with a voice recording of the presentation. I think what is hard to capture in a recording is the…
You are Part of God’s Perfect Plan
Thank you Teresa for reminding me of God’s Perfect Plan….. God planned the smallest of detail on the day He formed the earth, And, just as carefully, He planned each detail of your birth– He knew the color of your eyes, the texture of your hair, The circumstances of your days, each how and when…
All of us: Stories of His Amazing Grace
God is timeless. He was before; He is present; He is future; He is eternal. God’s Word begins: In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. Genesis Chapter 1…
