It is just social media and I joined years ago to follow my kids. I’m not mad at FaceBook but in one sitting there were some bizarre connections to my profile. What algorithm has suggested: full body fat reduction, best probiotics for menopause, bath remodels, cabinet replacements, clothes for short women (I am not), Alaskan…

Songs say it better so from Firm Foundation, “Christ is my firm foundation. The rock on which I stand. When everything around me is shaken. I’ve never been more glad, That I put my faith in Jesus. He’s never let me down. He’s faithful through generations. So why would He fail now? He won’t”. You…

“Grief doesn’t want to be solved. It wants to be held. Sat with. Witnessed. It shows up like a tide, sometimes soft, sometimes devastating…What you’re carrying is sacred. It’s the shape of love after loss.” – Tierra Stockham Do you thump watermelons? Do you try to pick the best life – I mean fruit? Is…

I’m watching a clip from the Mariner’s game #3 (I think), promoting tonights game #5 of the finals. I do not follow baseball but did enjoy a game in person about five weeks ago. Not being a giant fan of anything but Jesus, it was fun. Love the friends, food, and ambiance. Riding the Light…

Last year I was on mission and needed to pack light. I picked one eyeshadow. On an average morning I explore the possibilities of what to wear, what color and look suits the day. Not on mission. Life is simpler because there is much to focus on and much at risk. Simple is the word…

Today I prayed for the salvation of 21 people. Some are distant family members. Yes – they are good people but give…

I heard from a dear friend from college days yesterday morning. She believes in Jesus and is worried about the world. There is a dullness in my heart too. A beautiful funeral last Saturday for a friend’s daughter, 38, and next Saturday another for a bestie’s 42 year-old son. The dull ache feels more like…

Yesterday I wore shorts and today it rained. This week many people died and a death changes everything. Do we know Jesus or do we just know about Him? So what is essential today? “Come to me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon…

If wrong is the opposite of right, let me tell you how today should’ve gone. Two men would not have opened fire at a Jerusalem bus stop…killing six and critically wounding others. Hamas would not have praised the “resistance” fighters (BS). Charlie Kirk would still be alive as would my besties son, Ryan. That is…

There are so many words that fit this description. Honor is one. To honor someone is an action and, therefore, a verb. Does honoring someone ensue honor? I don’t think so. To have honor – be honorable – is a state of being which is also a verb. Honor, the noun, means adherence to what…
