Backlog Processing

Yesterday morning while I was sipping my coconut water at the Farmers’ Market, I thought about fasting. Actually, I was starting a 2 meal fast, God, to try and makeup for not doing it yesterday although, I am pretty sure,

On Being One of God’s Projects

Ah, God, a fresh awareness of what YOU are doing!  And it is a gift from You as I heard myself saying it to a friend yesterday morning — and then went back and played it over. . . and

Pray FERVENTLY, Pray and FAST

Well, God, one doesn’t appreciate what works, until one gets a good look at what doesn’t!  Our government comes in for lots of complaints — but then looking at Haiti — at a government that seems only for the benefit

Haiti on our Hearts

Inexpressible devastation — I have been in an earthquake, God.  A 6.7 one only 9 miles from us. The FEAR that comes from being in an earthquake OVERFLOWS everyone’s cup.  My mother still talks about one from her childhood that saw

Dining in the Dark

What am I looking at?

Stained Glass and Our Hearts

Fountains of Living Water

How beautiful is this, God!  I love looking at the sunlight flowing through the water.  I especially love it after I have been in both Your Sunshine and Your Water.  The ocean is our birthplace, isn’t it.  Where You began
