Hello beloved, As I type, the winds of a minor hurricane are whipping around our home, sheets of rain pelting the sides. You get used to these things when you live in Florida. At 6 am I got an automated call from Flagler County Emergency Services telling us that there was a tornado warning…

Record Keeper
Hello my family. I am a record keeper. This is a confession. I tend to keep records of wrongs. If someone is unkind to me, or just in a bad mood and snippy to me, I put an imaginary chalk mark in my imaginary column. That’s a point for me in the “Who’s Better…
Tea Parties and Tornadoes
I hope this finds all of you resting and trusting in the faithfulness of our God. Today, I am hosting an Autumn tea party. I am not stressed about it at all. Ten people are coming. Around ten. I don’t fees stressed or overwhelmed. Before, I would always get so frazzled whenever I would host…

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…

Lions, and Giants, and Bears! Oh My!
Hello beloved, I have been thinking of the words of God to the children of Israel, when they had again and again, not believed in the Lord’s ability and faithfulness. He had delivered them from Egypt and cared for them in the wilderness, through amazing miracles, and brought them all the way to the threshold…
The Step
Good morning, beautiful, beloved family, Lately, a single thought has been in my head and heart, a new realization about God, about Jesus. It’s kind of “out there” but I believe true. I just haven’t been sure this is the place to tell it. I am just beginning to see it. Anyway, I woke to…
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…
