I tap the app for YouTube and I type Casting Crowns by the blinking cursor in the search box. I can’t think of the name of their song I’m searching for. I scroll a bit and then, there it is! Thrive. I tap the box and tap the play and in as many seconds the music […]

For our momentary light affliction is producing for us an absolutely incomparable eternal weight of glory. So we do not focus on what is seen, but what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:17-18 Mary Magdalene went early. While it was still dark. […]

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be FILLED! ~ Matthew 5:6 ~ Blessed Good Friday ~ I keep thinking about it. How I don’t excel very well at unselfishness. I’m not great at sacrificing for someone else. I don’t enjoy pain. I seek peace and avoid confrontation. Conflict stresses […]

Last Fridays was a beautiful Kansas Friday…the thermometer holding steady at 68 degrees. The sun beamed gently and the wind lay still and silent, a welcome respite after Monday and Tuesday, when it howled savagely and relentlessly, blowing dirt in waves and beating against our baby wheat fields. I look out the window and I […]

There’s a reason I fight to delight in the daily details. There’s a reason I count gratitude for simple things and every good day. There’s a reason I try to create beauty in my home and everyday. There’s a reason I lean into looking for laughter and hunting out happiness. There’s a reason I meditate […]

This rug-turned-wall-hanging graces the space at the bottom of my basement stairway. I see it there, every time I glance down the stairway, every time I descend the stairway. It reminds me. Today matters. Today is what I have. My attitude is something I always get to choose. My happiness is in my own […]

This time of year finds us focusing a good bit on birth, babies, and firstborns. We think about mangers and swaddling clothes and scratchy straw. We listen for the cry of a newborn and watch for the bright light of the star. We wrap gifts and send greetings to people we love. Today, my mind […]

For two or three years now, I’ve thought very much about purchasing the Advent study from She Reads Truth, but so far I never had. I love the Christmas season, but it adds extras and I didn’t know if I would get the study done. We often travel and I always had other Bible studies […]

I took a walk today. I stepped out my door in the November sunshine and when I realized it was a most gorgeous Kansas day with azure skies and nice temps and no wind, I returned to the house and I dug out a sweater and socks and I laced my tennis shoes right up. […]

I watch the smoke spiral up from the sweet corn stalks and general garden tangle and I confess my first reaction is “glad-to-see-that-mess go” followed quickly by “no-garden-next-year” all played in sour tones and trebles. Then, I pause, a bit ashamed. Yes. That garden did become a big tangled, overgrown mess. It made me feel […]

Tonight we have a giveaway for another music cd. This one is new from Kutless. It’s called Alpha Omega. I love the verse printed on the inside of the cd. Well, it’s printed on the back of the cover and booklet containing the lyrics to the songs. I really, really love the King of My […]

Do I find Him faithful? Does He keep His Word to me? Do I trust His goodness? in the things that I can’t see? Do I rest upon His Word? Do I kneel to pray? Do I trust His promises? Believe the things they say? Do I anchor down so deep? When life begins to […]

There are very few places where the soul is truly safe, where the knowing, the questions, the longings of the soul are welcomed, received, and listened to rather than evaluated, judged, or beaten out of us. ~ Ruth Haley Barton This quote has long been a favorite of mine and I’m pretty sure it’s on […]

Psalm 89:8 ~ O Lord God of Heaven’s Armies! Where is there anyone as mighty as you, O Lord? You are entirely faithful. Faithfulness is shown in the changing seasons. Green leaves turn into yellow and gold and red. Faithfully as this earth spins, the cycle of summer and autumn and winter and spring continues. Faithfulness is portrayed by […]
