Does time feel like it’s meringue in your mouth? It seems to disappear as soon as it comes. One day blurs into the next with errands to run, a house to maintain, work schedules, children running amok and laundry, laundry, laundry! But this day matters, this moment as you read, the next, when a glass … Continue reading This Day Matters
The alarm sings, and with a groggy sigh of irritation, I reluctantly drag my hand from under the cocoon of warmth enveloping me and hit the off button. Slowly, I push myself out of bed, pull on my housecoat, and stumble to the bathroom for my morning routine. Returning to the bedroom, I hang up … Continue reading What to Wear?
What kind of God do we serve? He is the God who spoke, and billions of stars burst forth, exploding light across the dark expanse and creating planets out of the swirling, chaotic matter. There are an estimated six trillion galaxies in the known universe, each containing hundreds of billions of stars, with at least … Continue reading What Kind of God?
A blazing sun and cyan-coloured sky welcomed our group to the horseback riding adventure. An experienced rider led us on a slow trot down a well-travelled path that threaded through green fields interlaced with groves of trees.

Every two weeks, we check in and share our chosen verses. … Continue reading A Deadly Progression
Friday was filled with betrayal, tragedy, brutality, and horror. Today is Saturday, the Sabbath. Sabbath represents rest, peace, and praising the LORD for His sovereignty and salvation. But where was Mary’s peace after watching her firstborn son be cruelly tortured and murdered? Where was rest for the minds and hearts of Jesus’s followers? John, who … Continue reading What About Saturday?
I recently celebrated another birthday. Growing up, my mother always celebrated our birthdays and made sure we had a cake and at least one present, even when times were lean, and our numbers grew. She also liked to be celebrated, right into her nineties. So, birthdays are a big deal in my family, and I … Continue reading Birth Days
One of the things I love about working on a puzzle is seeing the individual pictures, or parts, pop to life. Out of the jumble of individual pieces, a flower suddenly blooms, or a cheetah prowls onto the mat. There is a sense of accomplishment and joy in bringing them to life, “creating them in … Continue reading Our Intricate God
At 16, I was living on my own. I wasn’t in school, had no job and no prospects. One day, I found myself with no food and only 25 cents in my pocket. I walked to the nearby convenience store and bought myself a popsicle (yes, I am that old), for supper. I had no … Continue reading Tomorrow, and Tomorrow.
