Understanding the Trinity: A Journey into Perfect Love
I’m thrilled to be doing another Bible study called “He’s Where the Joy Is” by Tara-Leigh Cobble with Lori as our teacher. Her ability to lead us through the Word, and her availability to offer online has been a gift. It’s a tough one but so worth it. We are learning about the Trinity–God the…
A Day Wrapped in Song and Story: Sharing Our Love for Music and Imagination
It’s incredible how certain songs or books can anchor us to vivid memories and emotions. Not long ago, I had one of these precious moments that not only took me down memory lane but also allowed me to share a piece of my heart with a new generation. The story begins with a dusty memory…

You Never Walk Alone
Work has been busy with travel and deadlines. Sitting across from a colleague over dinner, we were catching up on family, art, and the latest books we’d read.

Great Works
Audio link. I had the blessing of walking the Virginia Tech campus this week. I got up early to walk and listen to my “Pray as You Go” meditation app. After a troubled night’s sleep, the sunrise and the walk did my soul well. The question posed was, “What great works is God calling you…
Moments in moments
(Link to the audio version.) Sometimes, life can get so big that your moments are unnoticeable. I’m not going to talk about how busy we are because that is a given, and somehow, we say it so much it has become our mantra. When we have various roles, and maybe some of those roles have…
Come Have Breakfast
(Audio reading of the poem on Purposeful Pauses) Come have breakfast with me Although you are busy and filled with grief Come have breakfast with me Spring forth, leap and see You find yourself in a tangled mire I have prepared the coals and the fire You did not notice me right away It takes…
