Bee Satisfied
Along the walkway to my front door there’s a beautiful shrub covered in tiny purple flowers. It looks especially pretty as the fall temperatures drop, and lately I’m not the only one loving it. When you pass by it these days you’ll hear the hymn of busy bees doing their work. Most days I walk…

A Gift from Grumpy Monkey
A while back my friend gifted me a book. It’s a children’s book about a monkey who is grumpy but refuses to acknowledge how he feels. I wish I could say this gift was given to read to my grands, but it wasn’t. It was for me. My friend knows me well, maybe a little…

Discovering the Way of Prayer
Long ago, like way back in the 90’s, I came across a book that took different scriptures and turned them into personal prayers.

Love’s Always the Answer
With coffee in hand I sit and watch the the world wake up. Praying. Reading. Wondering about the answer to my friend’s question. “Stacy, how do you love more… and think less?” I find it somewhat funny that in trying to figure out what the answer looks like, I sit and think. It’s the way…

The Terrible Truth
The words of my book club read bring me to a complete stop. The spiritualities that hold up across an entire lifetime of an individual — providing meaning-making in not one season of life but in many — are those that allow suffering, those that let go of control, and those that surrender to the…

The Mystery of Delight
I wonder how the passing of time seems so extremely slow and yet moves at lightning speed at the same time. It’s a mystery I doubt I’ll figure out in my lifetime, and I’m okay with it. Mystery is one of those things I’ve grown to accept about God. There are just some things, many…
