Resigning to Waiting on the Lord’s Timing… Lessons in Healing - “Kicking against the pricks” has taken on a new meaning for me. A quick snap and we are broken, yet it can take weeks, months and years to heal. A harsh word spoken in haste can do damage that takes years to overcome, to restore trust, and to return to full fellowship. We are called… Continue reading

Running out of Steam - This heating is sucking the life out of me… or maybe it’s the fact that I worked harder than usual at getting my exercise game on… or maybe it’s the fact that I still have not worked out my sleep patterns. I am a champion at getting “light sleep.” It is Deep sleep and REM… Continue reading

Nelson’s talk, “Peacemakers Needed” in April 2023, he taught, “Civility and decency seem to have disappeared during this era of polarization and passionate disagreements.” “Vulgarity, fault finding, and evil speaking of others are all too common.” “I am greatly concerned that so many people seem to believe that it is completely… Continue reading

For… Continue reading

Always Remember - “A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself.” —Joseph Campbell. Today is Memorial Day.

Be Where Your Feet Are - I have been working on mindfulness lately. It’s a process. Mindfulness is difficult because it involves a willingness to be with ourselves as we are.
