My days last week were full of responsibilities and writing. My office looks like a cyclone hit with piles of notes and snippets everywhere. Today I am trying to re-establish order. Sorting through piles, filing and pitching. I came across two and a half pages of scribbled notes on a steno pad. They must have … Continue reading A Pause for Thanks
Movin’ On
Sarah’s birth marked a new beginning for all of us. Still the word about moving remained waiting for an answer. Our sons, Shane and Brett, were by my side to help with Sarah whenever needed. Shane was thirteen and Brett eleven. They took turns feeding her, holding her and even changing her on occasion. Still, … Continue reading Movin’ On
A Change of Course
When God speaks impossibilities to us, we often shake our heads in unbelief. Yet, deep within a seed is planted and it's life cannot be denied. And just as a seed silently transforms and bursts forth days, months, or even years later, it takes time for God's impossibilities to be made visible. Waiting is not … Continue reading A Change of Course
The River Walk
In the fall of 2008, Mike and I went camping in the Colorado mountains. It was a hot, dry summer. The trees and landscape were burnt and crispy. Campfires were forbidden because of the fire danger. But, we found a camping spot right next to a roaring river. It was running fast and full the … Continue reading The River Walk
Hurry Up and Wait
In March 1976, we scrawled the words, “Missouri or Bust,” across butcher paper and taped it to the side of our cab-over camper.

When we … Continue reading Hurry Up and Wait

They are different than the Hebrew lessons, but each story reveals greater understanding for who we are in God's eyes and of greater importance, who He is. Hope you … Continue reading The Chart
Who Are We? Identity Theft – Part 1
Identity theft is big these days. Hackers steal our credit, our bank accounts, our lives with the push of a button. But the greatest identity theft of all took place at the beginning of time, when Satan convinced Eve she wasn't enough. God didn't give her all she needed. We may think we know who … Continue reading Who Are We? Identity Theft – Part 1
Waiting – It’s Not What You Think
Waiting is something we equate with sitting in traffic, put off by a light that refuses to turn green. Or it can be enduring lengthy stays in a doctor’s office, for an appointment whose time passed a half hour ago. These are negative, stress-related experiences we don't like. We will discover today, however, that waiting … Continue reading Waiting – It’s Not What You Think
R.E.S.T.
One morning, having just returned home from being gone a week and with family coming in a few days, to visit, I hit the ground running. So much to do and so little time.
