Go ahead and give yourself permission. Close the door. It’s been open for too long anyway. If Jesus wants to re-open it, trust that he will. It’s in his hands; it always was, you just didn’t want to let it go. Let it go now, my friend. You don’t have to hold onto it anymore.Continue reading “Close the Door”

Bara
Hello again friends. It seems like it’s been quite a while since I posted. I apologize for the gap; I feel like I have been in the midst of bara. Bara is the hebrew word for becoming, or being created. The last few months I have felt myself being created. Perhaps re-created, or created againContinue reading “Bara”
Shields for Strength
I am currently sitting in the surgery consultation room, waiting for the doctor to come inform me of the progress of my mother’s surgery. For the second time in five years, she is getting her kidney operated on to remove cancer. I am waiting to hear how she is and if they took all theContinue reading “Shields for Strength”
No Waste of Time
Today I rode the waves. Big rolling waves, smaller, listing waves broke over me and formed bubbles around my floating body. I was in the midst of the Atlantic Ocean and enjoying being “one” with the surf. I was at peace with myself and the salty water around me. “Oh, that I had wings likeContinue reading “No Waste of Time”

What good is it for me to hurry along and try to get somewhere quickly, when this road is full of traffic lights andContinue reading “The Great Equalizer”
I’m ok. You’re ok!
It’s hotter than a firecracker out here, I think as I sit down to write outdoors for the first time this Spring. My regular t-shirt and cotton capri’s just aren’t cutting it today. Of course, then I realize it’s not really my clothes’ fault that I’m hot. Immediately the thought of my current weight situationContinue reading “I’m ok. You’re ok!”
Rise Above
“Be like the bird who, pausing in her flight awhile on boughs too slight, feels them give way beneath her, and yet sings, knowing she hath wings” writes celebrated french author Victor Hugo in his six-part poem, “Songs of Dusk” from 1836. This beautifully written poem in long form alludes to two travelers ducking awayContinue reading “Rise Above”
Find Your Joy
by Julie E. Kenney I have found myself to be in the mud in May. The days are long and the nights are short. It is so hard to get out of bed and make myself trudge into school each day when it’s cold and rainy one day and bright and sunny the next. HaveContinue reading “Find Your Joy”
Albert Einstein Said What?
Albert Einstein Said What? It seems to me that Albert Einstein gets a lot of credit for a lot of good things he did in the world. Especially the science world. But I have believed for a long time that the world of science and religion should really go hand in hand. And why not? Continue reading “Albert Einstein Said What?”
