The other day while at the quilt shop I had the opportunity to talk about different types of friendship with a 10-year-old quilter. She … Continue reading Value

Genesis
The other day I read this post by Sean Kerr, redefining Knights, Princesses and speaking to a Truth that is overlooked in so many societies, and cultures, and people. A way back in Genesis in the creation stories, when God created Adam and Eve there is a built in, inherent equality. God created Eve from … Continue reading Genesis
So, we’ve been told
Beauty is only skin deep. So we've been told. So we're told. Yes, that's an intentional rephrase. While at lunch I perused facebook on my phone and was stopped cold seeing an image of a sweet, long-haired little girl, sitting cross-legged, wielding a pair of shears, poised to cut the "bulge" from her belly. The … Continue reading So, we’ve been told
same prayer, years apart
Sometimes in the quiet a song comes to the surface of my heart reminding me that I've been praying this type of prayer for as long as I can remember. "God I love you, I want what you want in my life." Often this is exemplified by a song, or a prayer (which is a … Continue reading same prayer, years apart

Beloved, we are God’s children now; what we shall be has not yet been … Continue reading Beloved, let us Love one another

Pearls
Okay, these are stones and a shell not pearls. These stones have value to me, much in the same way a pearl would to others. I pick up stones along the way as reminders of a place, a moment, a memory. A couple weeks ago my sweetie and I went to the beach, put our … Continue reading Pearls
Making Room
As fearful people we are inclined to develop a mind-set that makes us say: "There's not enough food for everyone, so I better be sure I save enough for myself in case of emergency," or "There's not enough knowledge for everyone to enjoy; so I'd better keep my knowledge to myself, so no one else … Continue reading Making Room
