The past couple of Sunday’s as I was up early, eating breakfast, putsing around and getting ready for church, I turned on the TV only to find Creflo Dollar preaching on fear. I was interested. Creflo is brilliant at keeping your attention, at giving you memorable one liners and deep scriptural support for what he preaches. I just want [...]

A strong wind was blowing and the waters grew rough. When they had rowed three or three and a half miles, they saw Jesus approaching the boat, walking on the water; and they were terrified. But he said to them, “It is I; don’t be afraid.” This creation is a wonderful reminder of how we [...]

There is a song that we sing in worship that I have found so rich with meaning and so moving that I can’t get it out of my head. It’s a song by Hillsong called Lead Me to the Cross. As I continue to mull over the words and sing the song in my head, [...]

You’ve probably heard your walls creaking when the temperature drops drastically during a cold spell. And you’ve probably heard about the ‘writing on the wall’ – often used as an idiom relating to forecasting a dim future or great demise that is headed your way — which by the way originated in the book of [...]

I find great inspiration through great reads… occasionally. One read that I’m continuing to work through is Searching for and Maintaining Peace by Father Jacques Philippe. My friend Mary gave me a copy as she is aware of the struggles in my life during this season. One of the struggles that I have is exactly [...]

I’m in the middle of a really good read about inner peace, Searching for and Maintaining Peace by Father Jacques Philippe. In it, he shares a lovely comparison of us – humans and a lake. From page 5… “In order to understand this, we can use an image (without exaggerating, as we should always avoid doing [...]

Happy New Year. Welcome to my first blog entry of 2010… wow that sounds surreal… the 2010 part not the first blog entry part. Since the end of 2009, we have been in the midst of Year-End inventory… this is a time of the year that I absolutely despise. It’s very time-consuming; fairly mundane; pretty [...]

This morning the family woke up to rain with a promise of high winds and power outages by 10am. Interesting how the weather man could instill such dread in one’s heart. Knowing that I had better get moving and get the electricity-dependant chores done early, I set off right to work. I drove the kids [...]

There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven. Ecc 3.1 I love the changing of the seasons… I especially love fall… even if I do need to get accustomed to the cold air. The scents from wood fires, the stunning tapestry of color that covers the hills, and the fresh [...]
