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…

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…
