Hello dear readers! It’s been a while. Allow me to explain. My beloved son began an unexpected and ongoing difficult journey six weeks ago. This struggle includes a lot of loss and heartache and thrust me into the role of full-time caregiver of my active toddler granddaughter. This happened at a moment’s notice, with no time for mental or physical preparation. My child has spent countless hours in hopeful prayer and many more hours asking God, “Why?” The answers to his countless petitions seem to be a gentle but firm “No,” and it has begged the question of “Why? Why would God say no when it makes no sense to…

During the labor of one of my daughters, I gently swayed back and forth and sang, ” My Redeemer Lives” by Nicole C. Mullen. Who taught the sun where to stand in the morning?And who told the ocean, you can only come this far?And who showed the moon where to hide ’til evening?Whose words alone can catch a falling star? The same God who created the sun, the ocean, the moon, and the stars is the same God who created me and blessed me with a healthy newborn daughter, and I didn’t want to miss my chance to say thank you, singing these lyrics through my labor pains. The very…

If you are reading this, there’s a good chance I owe you a sincere apology. Please allow me to explain. I’m an introvert by nature. Please don’t translate ‘introvert’ as anti-social, shy, or unfriendly. I am happy to socialize and have deep, meaningful friendships. However, I do find socializing draining and need time to recharge my batteries before I go out and ‘people’ again. Another struggle as an introvert is that my inner world is where I tend to live mentally. The past, the future, or even inside my imagination are preferred happy places. I’m not incapable of living in the moment. I know that if I have to stay…

My family has an unusual holiday tradition. Our Thanksgiving meal is not the Norman Rockwell painting “Freedom from Want” turkey and trimmings. It began that way, though. For the first ten years of marriage and motherhood, I tried to recreate the Thanksgiving meal I grew up with faithfully. I would spend what felt like an eternity in the kitchen chopping, peeling, boiling, and baking all in preparation for …… whining. “Do we have to eat that?” was the nasal chorus I would hear from my ( then) four children. I would grit my teeth and threaten them with vacations to Third World countries in futile attempts to increase their attitude…

Recently, my church pastor preached a sermon about Jesus healing a paralyzed man in Capernaum. *Spark Notes version – four men are so determined to get their paralyzed friend to Jesus for healing that they are willing to rip open a roof and hand-deliver their friend straight down to Jesus to circumvent the crowds. Here’s the passage from Mark 2:1 -12.  A few days later, when Jesus entered Capernaum again, the people heard he had come home.  They gathered in such large numbers that there was no room left, not even outside the door, and he preached the word to them.  Some men came, bringing to him a paralyzed man, carried by four of…

You may be reading this from your hospital bed as many people, including me, pray for your recovery. Or you may choose not to read it at all. I wanted to reach you faster than snail mail, so I chose my blog because this letter may benefit others who struggle as you do. “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” Proverbs 4:23. King Solomon wrote this, and he was speaking of diligently guarding the wisdom in your heart, keeping it safe from being corrupted by evil. “The Bible warns us to avoid a double heart (Psalm 12:2), a hard heart (Proverbs 28:14), a proud…

In the book of Exodus in the Bible, God rescues the enslaved Israelites from their Egyptian captors. King Ramses II is the reigning Pharaoh of Egypt, and after witnessing God’s mighty displays of power through a series of ten plagues, Ramses reluctantly allows the Hebrews to leave. Ramses’ decision lasts about a couple of hours, maximum. Ramses sends the Egyptian army after the Israelites, in the hopes of slaughtering them all. The Hebrews are trapped. Pharaoh’s army behind them, the Red Sea in front of them. Death by sword or drowning, neither choice palatable. God parts the Red Sea, allowing just the Israelites to make it to safety, and then…
