When God says No to easy
There are moments in life that turn your world upside down in the blink of an eye. It’s been one of those seasons around here, like years of a season filled with hard. And just when things begin to settle, I find myself asking, “Lord… could we have a year of easy?”

What if?
There are moments in the darkness when your eyes aren’t very useful. You want to see, but the absence of light means your other senses begin to come on-line. It’s like the volume of your inner self begins to turn up, and you become more aware of your thoughts and feelings and doings. I used…

The Art of Surrendering to the Silence
You know those questions I encouraged you to ask in the moments of unexpected silence? The ones from my last post? (Here’s the link if you need a reminder: When Surrender Brings Balance.)

Be… like the dog
Lightning flashes through the window like an early morning alarm, and I move toward the kitchen. I see him working to secure anything that might fly away. It’s a busy few moments, a louder morning than usual, and a cranky start to my day. I’m feeling a bit off as if the storm has seeped…
