My computer died tonight. I’m devastated, and I feel lost. I’m not always good at handling small frustrations. Because I’m such a creature of habit, my routine is significant to me. I started writing in this space in July of 2020. Since that date, every […]

Did They Know?
A Canaanite, a prostitute, a Moabite, and a wronged wife. These four women, Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, and Bathsheba, are listed in Matthew’s account of the lineage of Christ. This week I’ve been contemplating the advent story, and I wonder what did they know about their […]

Praise to the God of All Comfort
As we traveled home from Canada, I felt agitated. I was tired; my backpack felt heavy, and everyone talked too loud. All I wanted to do was find my seat on the plane, put in my headphones, and shut out the world for a few […]
Keeping Our Eyes On Jesus
“keeping our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of our faith.” Hebrews 12:2 CSB “I can’t find my glasses!” “Here, honey, use mine.” My husband and I used to have the same prescription for our eyeglasses. Over the years, subtle differences began to occur, […]
3 Characteristics Of Palm Trees
Since the passing of our dog a few weeks back, I’ve ignored the coconuts in the yard. You see, coconuts were one of Koshka’s favorite toys. She chased them, bit them, and treasured them in her collection. But today, God placed one on the paving […]
