Today I am singing in church. Me, singing in church. Not only am I singing, I am singing an old hymn from my childhood that has taken on new meaning in my life today. It is called “Trust and Obey”. I know we, as women, struggle so much with the “o” word. What does itContinue reading “The journey …. continues”

Trail Blazing in a new way
As I am blazing new trails this August for the #helpbolivia cause I am finding I am being called to trailblaze in new ways. I am reading a book for study purposes called, “Early Exits” by David MaGinley and it is changing my mind. It is calling my heart to step up to be visitedContinue reading “Trail Blazing in a new way”
Walking Wounded
Downton Abbey, Mrs. Hughes, “You should think Mr. Lang, you are not the only member of the walking wounded in this house.” We never know as we walk about day to day who is a member of this group.

The lens is key
This morning I got into a nice cool shower. It felt good after the warmth of the night. I was feeling sticky and hot with this recent heat wave, a two minute shower often is the ticket to refreshing the soul. As I stood in the shower, I looked down and there was something onContinue reading “The lens is key”
Deconstruction of thinking and belief
There is an old story about a young woman who cut the ends off the ham roll at Christmas dinner. Her daughter was watching and asks, “Why do you cut the ends off?” Mother answers, “It’s tradition!” and the daughter’s brow furrows. Later, gramma comes and as she is taking the ham out of theContinue reading “Deconstruction of thinking and belief”

Called to Cull – Am I odd or awed?
Richard Wagamese truly touched my heart today. I am working on a course called “personal spirituality” and we are reading many of the classics. Writers and theologians like St. Augustine, Teresa of Avila, Julian of Norwich, and John Bunyan and I am thoroughly enjoying this experience of awe. The best part of this course isContinue reading “Called to Cull – Am I odd or awed?”
Called to Cull
So being called to cull! What does that mean? I have moved much in my life both physically and metaphorically and I am better for it. I can sit on an item now and decide if it will bring me joy or encumbrance. I can let go of things because I know in my heartContinue reading “Called to Cull”
