My daughter has not yet been released to drive, but she has returned to class. Lillee and I waited in the car and made the hour and a half go by faster by playing with the camera and meditating on the Word. The Lord has established his throne in heaven, and his kingdom rules over […]
Friday Fuel for the Weekend: Hope
Hope Rises heavy under a misty veil i see dimly until startled by a cardinal on a naked branch and hope rises on scarlet wings. ~Sandra Heska King (2010) Hope is that thing with feathers that perches in the soul and sings the tune without the words and never stops . . . at all. […]
Reflections on @stickyJesus: Chapter 7
Words which do not give the light of Christ increase the darkness ~Mother Teresa There he was, a powerful pawn, on his way to Damascus, engrossed in the game of Persecute the Christian, when a blast of light knocked Paul to his knees. Blinded by glory, he began to see, and the whole game changed. […]
Window on Writing: Cracked for Light
The cracks are how the light shines in, and it is only by remaining aware of imperfection that we remain open to redemption and reform. ~Leonard Cohen hidden heart room veiled from sight until the light breaks through the curtain cracked flames bright reveals the dirt that melts in muddy rivers cleanses and creates beauty […]
Textures of Text: Stone Crossings ~ Rising Above the Mess
I read it last summer. Straight through. And posted about the towla worm here. But there is more, so much more in this book by L.L. Barkat, author of God in the Yard, the book that I am slowly making my way through while I sit in my own yard. I pick Stone Crossings up […]

Saturday Snaps: Birds, Branches, Bushes, and Baths
Look at the birds, free and unfettered, not tied down to a job description, careless in the care of God. And you count far more to him than birds. ~Matthew 6:26 (Message) All of these photos except the last two were taken through the window. With the baby camera. I haven’t broken in the new […]
Friday Fuel for the Weekend: Presence
“Like Steven Chase says, “absence sharpens our seeking: it sets the tone and temper of our attentiveness.” God in the Yard (chapter 7) I have been absent from the yard. The holidays, my daughter’s surgery and hospitalization, and caring for my grandgirls during her recovery have messed with my schedule and self-time. Oh, I’ve made […]
Reflections on @stickyJesus: Chapter 6
If we will let Him, Christ will do in us and through us that which He did in and through the committed believers after Pentecost. The potential is ours. Do we dare believe that the faithful Christian believers may yet experience a great new wave of spiritual power? ~A.W. Tozer “He [the Holy Spirit] is […]
