New Year – New Day – New Life
Well, the months have flown by and the ideas here have sat undisturbed for too long. Time to shake off the cobwebs and move forward. No excuses. Some regrets. Forgiveness asked. Funny how everyday concerns can take your eye off the long pass, the ultimate goal. But that’s how we’re built and thus the beauty of grace in [...]

I don’t want to sing a joyful song!
Shout for joy to the LORD, all the earth.
Worship the LORD with gladness;

A Snow Day
What do you do with these unplanned gifts of time?

One of the characters in the book asks a question that made me stop and really examine a number of things about the choices I make, the priorities I set and the actions I take.

Everyday Grace
It is the little touches that makes the everyday hustle and bustle a little slower, a little softer, and a little less alone. The spiritual side of that phrase is big and bold and life giving. What we do with that in turn is what makes the difference in our lives and in those we touch. [...]
