Spiritual Companionship
What sparks you to explore yourself? Are you feeling dull? I dare you to start peeling back the layers or dig deeper into your mind’s garden. I wandered through life for almost 40 years not noticing much of anything. My childhood curiosity was squashed early on and my dreams and visions were ignored. So IContinue reading “Spiritual Companionship”
Contentment in Holiness
1 Timothy 6:7 For we brought nothing into the world, so we cannot carry anything out of it. 8But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with these. 9Those who want to be rich, however, fall into temptation and become ensnared by many foolish and harmful desires that plunge them into ruinContinue reading “Contentment in Holiness”

But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroyContinue reading “Black and White Thinking”
Vulnerability
“What happens when people open their hearts?”“They get better.”—Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood The Spruce Grouse is a silly bird. Unlike other birds that fly away in caution, this bird will pretend not to be seen. While hiking in the Maine woods this past summer, I came upon this beautiful creature. He didn’t scurry off untilContinue reading “Vulnerability”
So let’s begin.
If we wait to follow our dreams, until we are perfectly ready, we would never begin. I have finished my expressive arts certificate and am beginning my spiritual formation classes in January 2023. But I am not waiting any longer to reach out and touch the sky. All we desire is within reach. The sunContinue reading “So let’s begin.”
