Dance you now in morning breezes Sway and twirl against the wind Dropping treasures of your harvest Without care or fear or whim. Ease you now in colder weather Bare your bones, send roots down deep Anchored rest for unknown season Winter’s nap your soul to keep. Days are damp and mornings chilling Fog hangs … Continue reading December Song for Trees and Hearts

Fiery Love – More Memorable Than Fireworks
The next couple of weeks stretched out in silence. I sensed the tension growing but was not wanting to start a fire, so I measured my words with care.

What to do When God Pulls You Out of the Party

Sometimes We Get Lost in the Blessings and Forget God’s Ways
I could hear the phone ringing before I unlocked the office door. I grabbed the keys and added my purse to the pile of books and files already in my arms.

Please … Continue reading Sometimes We Get Lost in the Blessings and Forget God’s Ways
