Sometimes when everything else is stripped away, we can see a little clearer. I drive by these woods every day, sometimes multiple times. But for most of the year, I can’t see the morning sun. It’s only in the winter months, when the leaves have fallen and the trees are left bare that I can see through the gray of the trees to the warm glow of that rising orb in the sky. I’m thinking sometimes in life, when thingsRead more

roots
“Change your opinions, keep to your principles; change your leaves, keep intact your roots.” ~ Victor Hugo I love this quote by Victor Hugo. Life is full of twists and turns and seasons. It’s full of learning and growing and seeing things in a different light. Some things should always be changing and growing, and some things are a foundation that should stand firm, and be steadfast. Going with the flow is important. Ships gotta rise and bow withRead more
a few thoughts on ‘fessing up’…
‘Fessing up means to admit. It is a confessing of wrongs done, an admission of actions taken, words spoken, etc. It means letting down, a humble acceptance of a guilty plea, an owning up to truth, admitting wrongs done, or an ‘admission’ of wrongs committed. But here’s the thing. ‘Admission’ also means being allowed to enter. When we’re granted admission to something, we usually need a ticket right? We need a key, a sign that says we’ve paid what weRead more

a few thoughts on letting go…
“Let go of the past, and the past will let go of you…” Cool quote. Not sure who it’s by. But cool, powerful quote. “Do not call to mind the former things, Or ponder things of the past. “Behold, I will do something new, Now it will spring forth; Will you not be aware of it? I will even make a roadway in the wilderness, Rivers in the desert. Isaiah 43:18-19 “I will do something new, Now it will spring forth…WillRead more
…a few thoughts on treasure…
“God gives us things to share. He doesn’t give us things to hold.” ~Mother Teresa I love this quote by Mother Teresa: “God gives us things to share. He doesn’t give us things to hold. I’m thinking that applies to stuff. Am also thinking that applies to us and the ‘gifts’, those unseen talents, abilities and passions, that we have to share with the world. That ‘world’ may be one person, one family, one community…or that ‘world’ may be internationallyRead more
The Daily Post ~ “Reflecting”
“…now faith is confidence in what we hope for, and assurance about what we do not yet see.” Hebrews 11:1 I love that verse. And more than that, I love the truth that faith is about what is unseen, but…there are signs all around that can be seen. Just like Melanie’s reflection in the water, I can see in part…I can see her feet, but there reflecting in the water is the confirmation that there’s a whole lot more toRead more
…he said yes…
So, in recent weeks, I have heard reference to a story multiple times. It’s a story in the Bible of a man who had been sick for a long time. I’m not certain of the infirmity, but according to scripture, he had been waiting to be healed for close to 4 decades. Yep, almost 40 years of waiting. So Jesus comes along and asks him a very obvious question. This is how John 5:1-5 tells the story…“After this there was aRead more
