Today turned out to be quite different than I had been planning on. I was going to go to church and women’s group. That was it. But God, as he often does, had different plans. I did go to church and I did get to come back home, edit for the book project and take […]
Though already a few hours into the morning, the forest is still seemingly cloaked in barely lightened dawn. A lone bird quietly sings the day’s arrival as we make our way through the eerily silent trees. Muted yellows and puddles of red mixed with the green trees among the hills, autumn slipped in among the

Last Thursday I got two of the vaccinations I needed and have slept more than usual since. Tomorrow I get two more. I feel sorry for my body. I already put it through a flu shot and it thanked me by feeling under the weather for about two days. I also took a pint of
Last night God came to me in my dreams. He doesn’t do it often but when He does, it’s always very powerful and always stays with me for a very long time. This particular one has been in my head and heart all day. I originally wanted to take the mystics class at the seminary
