A memory came rushing to me as I was sitting in church, upon hearing that word whisper in my mind. I was sixteen years old again and sitting on my parents’ front porch listening to my record player and singing to the song “Hey Jude” by the Beatles. The boy that I had met the… Continue reading Change

What is the first image that comes to mind when you hear that word? It’s an easy answer for me – the three wise men that came to worship the baby Jesus. For many, once Christmas Day is over, that is the end of the season. Trees and decorations get taken down, music on the… Continue reading Wise
Reminisce
Let me be one of the first to wish you a happy new year! I’m sure many of you are glad to see 2023 gone and looking forward to better days ahead in this new year. But many things have happened that have brought us safely and thankfully to this point. How do we start… Continue reading Reminisce
Gloria
It’s Christmas Day. Our tiny savior, Jesus, is born to Mary and Joseph, the very epitome of a gift from God for all of us. There is no need for a story today from me because He already holds the best story of all! I chose the word gloria because the song you’ll listen to… Continue reading Gloria
Behold
If you have been reading From God’s Lips this past year, you’ve probably noticed that our family of three took a giant leap and moved to the sunny coast of Florida. There were many reasons for the location we chose, but there was an additional bonus we didn’t expect. We are approximately an hour and… Continue reading Behold
Still
Let’s face it, for most of us, it’s not in our nature to be still. Many of our days are filled with appointments, tasks, and checking off items on our to-do lists. For myself, looking back over the past three years, which included selling two family homes, downsizing furniture, and items too many to mention,… Continue reading Still

In the quiet of the evening, as the sky starts to darken, my eyes wander around our house, looking at the results of our many hours (days) of Christmas decorating. In our family room alone, we have displays of so many special Santas, snowmen, treasured lighted houses, and nativities. These are collected treasures over the… Continue reading Celebrate

Only remnants remain of our Thanksgiving celebrations, however small or large. Now, we are continuing on the next part of our journey into Advent. The three wise men were definitely pilgrims, being guided towards a very sacred place, a simple manger in a stable, holding the Christ child. Their plan? Following a… Continue reading Sharing
Tabernacle
Where do you feel the Lord’s presence most on your journey as a pilgrim? The word Tabernacle literally means “place of dwelling and was so called in the belief that God literally lived within its sacred confines.” Wherever the Israelites made camp on their journey, the tabernacle was set up in the precise center of… Continue reading Tabernacle
Litany (of thanks)
Are you still in pilgrim mode? I pray that you are still walking with me on this journey towards “your sacred place.” Were you able to walk the labyrinth last week in contemplation? If not, there is always time to make a commitment to walk with God. Remember, our journey is not… Continue reading Litany (of thanks)
