Outcasts. Who loves the unlovely in our world? Or, more specifically, in the church, the Body of Christ? Who decides which of us belongs in the box called “untouchables”? I am in that box many times, but God did not put me there. Many times, others place me there. Sometimes, I consign myself to … More Tumbleweeds and Birdsong
I walk 3.4 miles every day at the LC Greenway. I absolutely look forward to these daily walks, both physically and spiritually. It’s a good time to enjoy my surroundings, pray and meditate on the things of God. So off I go every day, Monday thru Friday, with my pepper spray in my pocket and … More Focus

Second, he answered a prayer I had been praying over the women’s retreat. Then, he answered a prayer I had been asking … More My Place in the Garden
“How bold one gets when one is sure of being loved.” ~Sigmund Freud I have always considered the idea of teaching as a career, but I remember the day that I definitively made up my mind to pursue it. I worked at a financial institution and was waiting on a man who seemed … More You are Loved
One year ago, I experienced several injuries back to back. As I reflect over that time, I’ve taken many lessons away from those injuries. First, never wear sandals in the rain. You may slip while getting into a vehicle and break a toe. Second, never, and I do mean never, wear socks or long pants … More Press In
I am a freak about time. I love schedules and time management systems. I am the one who thinks 15 min early to an appointment is on time but 10 min early is running late. It may not surprise you to know that “quality time” is also my love language. But as I type this … More Time Freak
