    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 flower gardens. It was so…

    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…

    pick up your mat!

    The Paralytic at the Pool, Part 1 [and Part 2] What if wellness was up to you? Would you be made whole? It seems like a crazy question, eh? Our minds turn it over, suspicion curdling expectations. There must be a catch! Who wouldn’t want to be healed? I think,…

    I believe

    A glorious sunrise burst over the North Country just as I was starting to write. It was too good not to share. I bundled up and braved the cold, so you wouldn’t miss out. A new day has dawned in the blogosphere, too. I’m writing again, happily.  The week between…

    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…

    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…

    of oranges and Jesus

    We arrived at our first SOWER Ministry project site after the most taxing day of travel. Considering our first day, this is saying quite a lot! We’d departed Savannah with an ETA of 3:00 p.m. We hit nasty traffic in Orlando; it slid to 4:00 p.m. A few miles shy…

    steadfast spirit

    I didn’t see the pile of tissues until it was too late. An entire box, extracted one by one. What in the world? “Lydia, why did you take all of the tissues out of the box?” Her pre-school logic was sound. “I was playing family, GiGi. All my childrens was…
