My beautiful children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren, If you are reading this, think back to this date in history. Your Gigi is 55, and she felt compelled to write you a letter. It’s the spiritual remembrance of the death and resurrection of Jesus this weekend. Friday always creates a mixture of somberness and joyful anticipation….
Living
Living. There are moments in our journey towards home that cause us to reflect on living. How alive are you? I’m breathing and my heart is beating.

Who do you trust to hold your pen?
“We encounter so many on this journey, particularly on our path, that it is often overwhelming to know who we would even trust to hold our pen of our story when needed–you are one of few I would want writing my story.” Amber Knighting I had to read that text several times to understand the…
Don’t Rescue
My friend recently commented on how she loved to see the three generations in our study on Tuesday nights. It’s been a blessing to have an opportunity to do a study with my mom and Victoria in the virtual setting.

I have enough
A restless night. A worried mind. Awaken to focused prayer and readings. As I click on the appropriate day for my reading, the app tells me “it’s not available yet”. I go to the previous day which was undone and not accounted for in my daily prayer time. As I listen, I smile, because I…
