I just about 18 years old – he may have been 19 or so. Our college was small and everyone knew everyone. As a transfer student, I was new to the culture of this college.

Unwind
Some days I just need to breathe. Embrace what is. Lay my weapons down – Let someone else fight on my behalf. Some days I choose surrender. I let go and let God.
I Look To You – Again
“The God who made the world and everything in it…doesn’t live in custom-made shrines or need the human race to run errands for him, as if He couldn’t take care of himself. Starting from scratch, He made the entire human race and made the earth hospitable, with plenty of time and space for living soContinue reading “I Look To You – Again”
His Why
‘ Christ is not my security against the storms of life. He is my perfect security in the storms.’ [Borrowed] Darkness and light, colors that blend perfectly together.

Laugh a Little
It doesn’t take too much to make me laugh. I’d like to think it’s just in my nature. The people in my space over the years have consistently added much joy to my life. When I count my blessings, they are at the forefront of my mind. My days would not be the same withoutContinue reading “Laugh a Little”
Mary, Did You Know?
During this period of Lent, people of faith often take moments to reflect. This week I tried to imagine the head space that Mary [ the mother of Jesus] was in back then.
