And She Smiles
I am at the beach this week. Typing from a roof top over looking the Gulf of Mexico. Looking at all of these young college girls walking up and down in their bikinis. I use to look like that, flat stomach and thin thighs, and I know it was not that long ago! This year...
In the Spider’s Web
At first glance it seems trivial, just some dumb Spider webs. Walking around trying to photograph the fog on water, I begin to see more and more spider webs - they are everywhere! This is how God speaks to me. He repeats and repeats, calling me, until I look up and...

Where Fear Becomes Fearless
They stand, staring at the camera, eyes with sadness, sometimes anger that comes from deep within. Arms, legs, are twig thin and bellies swollen, paradoxically, from lack of food. Mostly naked and living in trees to keep from being a meal for the hyenas, they huddle...
The Vine Which Tethers
From the richness of the earth come the treasures hidden below. Small sprigs of green break the ground’s crust. Like small arms stretching upward out of slumber, awakened by the call of warmth. And the weeds, they come in tandem with the chosen. The wheat and the...

That is Him

CPR for the Soul
S ometimes we find ourselves in a place in life where we feel empty. We need to fill a void in our nest. That is where I was in life. Children off, and husband still working, I missed being a mother, encourager or teacher to children. Cooking, cleaning the house,...
Worship
Music begins to play, and my spirit hears worship. I close my eyes and hum softly. Baby Girl hears as well. She puts down her toy and crawls to where the music is coming out of the computer. Pulling up to stand, she listens. I am suddenly aware of her presence. She...
What God has Joined
In the beginning she was my mother-in-law, a feisty women who did not take "no" for an answer. She and her husband raised seven boys. I watch her flow in and out of sleep. I did not just lose a husband in the divorce, I lost a family. When the two become one, the...
