I count everything as loss compared to the possession of the priceless privilege (the supreme advantage) of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord and of progressively becoming more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him [perceiving and recognizing and understanding Him more fully and clearly]. For His sake I have lost everything and consider it all to … Continue reading

Finding my way at FORTY (two)
Does your soul ever feel unraveled? My soul came undone this week like a skien of yarn. One pick of thread led to a full blown come apart. Maybe it is 50 days of quarantine coming out from every angle. Maybe it’s hormones. We can blame everything on hormones. But most likely it is a … Continue reading
Are You Ready To See THE “Fixer Upper?”
Restoration. Have you noticed our culture’s obsession? This “before and after” movement? Restoration Fascination. It’s a thing. Truly. Chip and Joanna Gaines are living proof that we are hungry for the story of “restored”. Our human nature is drawn to and delights in old made, not just new, but better-than-imagined-new. Stunning. Unthinkable. Remarkable. And although … Continue reading

There I sat, confined by glass, in the main hallway of my small-town middle school, writing this sentence all day long: “The gum chewing student and the cud chewing cow both look-alike somehow. But there is a difference. Oh, … Continue reading
It is possible…
I asked The Lord to give me this boy and He GRANTED me my request. 1 Samuel 1:27 I feel very impressed to publish a proclamation of encouragement today for anyone fearful of infertility or in the thick of the battle… With God all things are possible. I sat across from a doctor who looked … Continue reading

When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.”.. Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water.” … Continue reading
Five Letters Left On My Table
I sat in church. About ten rows back from stage left. Bible bag at my feet. A purple pen in my hand. A journal in my lap. And God spoke. His voice … unrelated to what going on around me. Not pertaining to my pastor’s message. The Lord spoke an unmistakable, inaudible Word – His … Continue reading
