Is it just me, or did we collectively experience ‘moon joy’ along with the crew of Artemis 2? Not the kind of joy that brings a smile or a laugh, but the kind that brings deep peace. Peace that passes understanding and wraps our present […]

Perplexed
There are moments in life when clarity disappears, insight is not forthcoming, and wisdom is nowhere to be found. As I write this, I’m feeling overwhelmed by things that I don’t understand. In times when the path ahead feels uncertain, and our hearts sit in […]
Deliver Us
A little boy raised his hand and waved at me from his comfy reclined position in the double stroller. He greeted me with a very loud “Hi!” and I returned his “Hi” and waved back. His little sister waved and I greeted her too. As […]

I used to think that to make your life a prayer required grand gestures. You know, like hours of crying out to Him each day with a list of petitions, or shutting yourself away from the world in a quiet retreat. I’m not condemning those […]
Sustaining Grace for Our Aging Bodies
Each passing decade is a tribute to God’s sustaining grace for our aging bodies. Every wrinkle, every gray hair, every careful step is a declaration that God has carried us through days we once prayed to see. Even to your old age and gray hairs […]
