Don’t get caught up
Sometimes I have to just stop. Stop reading the news and stop watching videos and social media clips. All the negativity, cynicism, division, hate, hurt. I read something not long ago that begged a good question. Maybe we’re not meant to know everything. Our hearts and our minds only able to process so much. It…

We need God and each other
I didn’t want to stay. I wanted to go home and pretend that none of it was happening and just maybe, just like that, somehow, it wouldn’t be. I wanted all the hard to just disappear. Though there was a doctor, with a petite face that I vaguely remember and, in the chaos, a name…

Loving through time
There he went, around the corner, on his new moped. I remember when he was just learning how to ride a bike. Now, he can drive vehicles on his own, and he’s riding around on a different type of two wheels. It’s amazing how quickly time flies by. He’s made it clear that he’s growing…

Keep watch
We live in a culture in which wants other people to do the grunt work for their faith. Though it is more than okay to go to someone we trust in their knowledge of His word, we still have to do our part. We have to read His word, seek out the answers to questions…

He comes knocking
He comes knocking at our door He who loves us at our core Our creator, He knit us in the womb Without Him, we will be surly doomed Our provider, meeting our needs Cleansing our souls and pruning the weeds Our deliverer saving us from our mess Giving generously, we truly are blessed Our friend,…

Raising our children
I sat down and looked at old photos and watched old videos of my children from years ago. I listened to their little voices on the old recordings, I watched them do their silly little dances and watched them play with pure joy. They were so small, and there was a part of me longing…
