  • Oh Holy Night

    It’s the second Sunday in Advent, and I’ve had carols playing nonstop. Until these words stopped me in my tracks:  “Til He appeared and the soul felt its worth A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices…”   It’s so easy to view the Christmas story like a Nativity scene, with perfectly poised characters who…

  • Calm in the Chaos

    It’s pretty easy to trust God when we can see the path ahead, and to have peace about a situation when everything’s going smoothly. But what about when it’s not? I used to think that God’s peace over a situation meant that the path would seamlessly unfold before me – no bumps, no hurdles, no…

  • Perfect Healing

    Thank you all so very much for your outpouring of prayer, support, encouragement and love🤍 My mom and I both have felt covered in prayer and carried by Gods strength and his abiding peace. And my surgery went perfectly🙌 I was awake enough right away to talk to my surgeon, as I wanted to know…

  • Perfect Peace…and Prayers over my Surgery!

    Peace. It’s an often overlooked word in the busy, chaotic, hamster-wheel lives we so often find ourselves in. But it is a life changing word, a word that Jesus came to embody as our Prince of Peace, and one that He gave up His life for so that we could experience. It helps usher in…
