I think learning to let go of trying to do it all may be one of the most important lessons that I am learning. Since childhood, I have wanted to be a part of every activity: dance, scouts, piano, band, groups, clubs, school – sign me up! No wonder my mother had a hard timeContinue reading “I CAN DO ALL THINGS; YET, I SHOULD LET OTHERS DO SOME OF IT… 9/02/2021 … Thursday …”

FOR HARMONY AND JOY… 7/27/2021 … Tuesday and Ryan
And for World Peace! I love the Olympics and the possibilities that they hold. I pray for their safety, joy, goodwill, encouragement, and inspiration! Ryan is with me and his patience is running out with this sitting still, so here is our prayer:
TREMBLING BONES… 7/23/2021
How do you handle those little, under-the-surface fears? The ones about your health, your abilities, your future, your family, your finances, your broken down car, etc.? Do you know what I am talking about? My prayer this morning is to keep affirming your faith in a Loving Holy Spirit who comforts, helps, advocates on ourContinue reading “TREMBLING BONES… 7/23/2021”
LEAN INTO PEACE—- June 1, 2021 —-
Does your feeling of peace get disrupted when you are interrupted? Does it disturb your calm to get a call in the middle of your prayer, especially when you discover it was spam? Do you become unsettled when something gets lost and you can’t find it? So many things can interrupt those feelings of peaceContinue reading “LEAN INTO PEACE—- June 1, 2021 —-“
FOLLOW THE LEADER – 5/12/2021
You are the Leader. It is not as obvious as the actual game, but there are those who follow you for guidance on how to handle their own surprises, problems, opportunities. We are not responsible for the choices others make. We can not make anyone follow us or listen to us. We are responsible forContinue reading “FOLLOW THE LEADER – 5/12/2021”
BE HEALED!4/23/2021 Friday
There are wounds in each of us, some very deep and very painful. These wounds can’t be healed by a wag of the finger or a smack across the head or by yelling, shaming, blaming. But they can be healed! I have seen people let go of the grip these wounds have on them. IContinue reading “BE HEALED!4/23/2021 Friday”
THEY DO WHAT?!4/13/2021Tuesday
Do not be afraid. Many times in scripture we are told to not be afraid. I sometimes wonder if what becomes “hate crimes” is out of a sense of fear. We have been assured of God‘s love and we can love others, all others. Offering God’s love to those who are different than us doesn’tContinue reading “THEY DO WHAT?!4/13/2021Tuesday”
LIVING FAITH LOCALLY 4/6/2021 TUESDAY
Today is a local election day here. Behind the scenes of Jesus’ life, the local political system was clearly making its presence known. Ever since I began to study religion, I have been struck by the impact politics and religion have on each other, even how they can be used by each other. I don’tContinue reading “LIVING FAITH LOCALLY 4/6/2021 TUESDAY”
Forgive Those Greenies3/17/2021 Wednesday
When I was growing up, our school mascot was the Greenies, I guess as in mean and Green. The school has since changed their mascot. No one seem to know what a Greenie was. Now that I think of so many things that are not understood if you are not part of a particular culture,Continue reading “Forgive Those Greenies3/17/2021 Wednesday”
Thankful for Lent – why?Wednesday 3.10.2021
What are you thankful for during the season of Lent? Are you learning new things about yourself or others? Are you more aware of the beauty all around? Are you looking for Holy Moments? Today I am thankful for all the beautiful signs of Spring, of new life, for the world around us and forContinue reading “Thankful for Lent – why?Wednesday 3.10.2021”
