Joel 2: 12-18 Even now, says the LORD, return to me with your whole heart, with fasting, and weeping, and mourning; Rend your hearts, not your garments, and return to the LORD, your God. For gracious and merciful is he, slow to anger, rich in kindness, and relenting in punishment. Perhaps he will again relent … Continue reading Heart Rending

On Being Responsible
"We need reminders, not new teaching" to quote a long time friend. The reminder came the other day, I'm grateful. This reminder started me thinking that I'm holding some things that aren't mine. Hearing this is like drinking water, refreshing my soul. As this drinking water continues the creative energy that has laid dormant for … Continue reading On Being Responsible
Coronado’s Gold, Fountain of Youth and quilt fame
Seek first the Kingdom of God, and His righteousness and all these things will be added unto you. Matthew 6:33 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26Mqmc5rWM8 As often happens there is a niggling at the edge of who I am, whispering in my ear, letting me in on a secret, or reminding me of some truth. It is generally a … Continue reading Coronado’s Gold, Fountain of Youth and quilt fame
The Chip
Have you ever read Shel Silverstein's The Missing Piece? I read this to small children a long time ago, in a place far away. I loved reading this book to small children. While it's written for children I think this book is for adults, to remind us that in and of ourselves we are indeed … Continue reading The Chip
Peaceful
You all know that "Oceans" speaks to my heart deeply, in looking back there are at least 6 posts with the song as the basis. It's come up in the play list on Pandora on two separate stations with some frequency, whispering sweetly to Trust God ever more deeply. Trusting God that he is leading … Continue reading Peaceful

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, let us Love one another
I John 3: Beloved: See what love the Father has bestowed on us that we may be called the children of God. And so we are. The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Beloved, we are God’s children now; what we shall be has not yet been … Continue reading Beloved, let us Love one another
