    big kids, big trips

    Have you ever struck on an idea that seemed quite brilliant … in the moment? “Surely,” you think, “This is one of my best ideas — ever!” You tell everyone who shows any interest (and some who don’t) all about it. Inevitably, perhaps much later, you realize you’ve actually got…

    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 bugs from tall…

    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 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…

    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…

I was blessed by the faithful word this lionhearted warrior delivered. She is so fierce for God’s kingdom! We are only the latest group of many…
