beloved aunt bea
My beloved Aunt Bea went home to heaven yesterday. We grieve her passing deeply. She fought so hard to recover. She overcame many complications. All along, I believed she would pull through; she'd stay awhile. I was wrong. My heart is broken. My aunt had a beautiful...
seeking and finding
Summer evenings in the North Country linger long. As a kid, it seemed dusk took forever to settle into dark, near 9:00 p.m. That’s when the fireworks start on Fourth of July. Mostly, we found amusement in simple things. Sometimes we’d make a game of scooping lightning...
trust Jesus, just Jesus
It's snowing this morning; big, wet flakes falling relentlessly from a leaden-gray sky. There's nothing so quite discouraging as snow in mid-April in the North Country! It's hard to believe spring is here. Unless, that is, you know what I know. Yesterday I worked my...
where healing starts
The Paralytic at the Pool, Part 2 [and Part 1] Where do you go for healing? What if your healer came to you? I've tried lots of health and healing remedies, some of them kind of crazy. I'm sure you'd recognize a few. (Grapefruit diet, anyone?) None of my experiences...

i will arise
I didn’t know I needed a new word. I was content with renew, settled in for a season. But when it came, I received it gladly. Arise! My heart soared on the updraft of arise! Arise ... and what, exactly? I was willing but clueless. In the weeks to follow, I searched...
the best rest
I sat under my aunt's bottle brush tree and listened to the bees buzz. Dozens, perhaps hundreds, were hard at work on the bright red flowers. As a worker bee myself, sounds of their productivity was music to my ears. Did you know work was God's good idea? We learn in...
