Hello Family, I have been listening to a wonderful song lately. It’s called “Jireh” by Elevation Worship and Maverick City. I often think of the first couple of lines to that song. I’ll never be more loved than I am right nowWasn’t holding You upSo there’s nothing I can do to let You down…
Let’s get naked.
Hello, dear sisters and brothers, dear to my heart. It’s been a minute. I have been thinking about this post for a while, and I haven’t quite gotten my lasso around it. So, I thought I would just start typing and see what happens. I was sitting on the beach this past Saturday morning, and…
That Where I am….
Hello glorious family! When I was young, I thought that when I died, I would go to a great mansion in the sky. It would be my very own mansion with lots of rooms, and probably an in-ground pool, and a giant backyard full of trees, and all the other amenities that I could want. …
For the Joy…..
For many years, all my life really, when I’ve heard the term, “the Joy of the Lord”, for example: “The joy of the Lord is my strength.”, I’ve thought of it as the joy the Lord gives me. I experience joy in knowing Him, being loved by Him. The joy of having the Lord in…

Algebra or whatever…..
Hello Beloved, The line keeps coming into my mind: “We take God out of the equation.” I have had situations in my life that have seemed overwhelming. Relationships. Work. Physical ailments. Mental ailments. Profound loss. I know some of you have been through similar and even worse. They were like dark parts of the…
God In the Darkness
The book of first John says that “God is light and in Him is no darkness at all.” That may be true. It sounds right to me. And yet…..God is in the darkness. I have walked through pitch dark tunnels in my life, I couldn’t see my hand in front of my face, let alone…
