The Greater Miracle
Were Adam and Eve created with a starter set of words? As God breathed life into them, did He also breathe a rich, colorful vocabulary that could adequately describe the Tree of Life’s leaves waltzing with the morning breeze? As Adam closed his eyes to recall...
You are Invited
Last weekend, we had the privilege of hosting our friends, Brenda and Bruce's wedding ceremony in our little garden. It was a perfect, beautiful spring day, with just family and a few close friends attending. What a blessing it was to see two hearts joined together as...
Mentoring the Next Generation
Summer is in the air, school is out, and young adults are graduating. Fifty years ago, it was me! WOW, how can this be? The saying is true: time flies when you are having fun. Recently, I met a young man who is hungry for God. He has lots of questions, wants to...
Another Kind of Normal
What do we mean when we talk of living a nice, normal life while here on this earth? I have thought about this often in the last weeks as I have traveled to and from UAB Hospital, where my husband has spent weeks recovering from major surgery. He had the left lobe of...

LOVING WHEN IT’S HARD
Difficult people are all around us. The coworker who is willing to do anything to get ahead. The family members who always seem to be critiquing your parenting skills and offering "suggestions" for improvement. The child who knows exactly how to push your buttons to...
Beautiful Life
A few days ago, I was cleaning in the kitchen, and a new song came on. I LOVED IT. By loved it, I mean I set it on repeat and listened to it for no less than 30 minutes straight while I danced and bounced my precious new baby. The whole song was great, but the chorus...
Through the Waters
"When you pass through the waters, I will be with you." Isaiah 43:2a I love the Book of Isaiah; Chapter 43 is a particular favorite. The imagery plays like a movie reel in my mind as God, through the words of His prophet, expresses His love for and protection over...
Chance Encounter
Sitting by a window on the cruise ship, I watch the waves rolling in and out, really procrastinating on finishing reading the book that has stepped on more than one nerve of mine. I know it was really because it was making me accountable for a few things that I did...
