How many decisions have you made in your lifetime? It doesn’t matter if you’re sweet 16 or in your 90’s, we make decisions every day of our lives. It may be as simple as “What should I have for breakfast this morning?” to the most important decision of our lives. “Should I go to college?” … Continue reading Decision

Change
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
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)
Fresh
My camping days are well over! The idea now of putting up a tent and sleeping on a ground that has definitely gotten harder over the years, is not my idea of a vacation anymore. However, I will add that my husband and I can recall wonderful stories about all our camping adventures. One such… Continue reading Fresh
Amazing
The first visual I picture in my mind is fireworks. I love fireworks! Even as a child I can recall going to the 4th of July parade in our small town, watching the stream of local marching bands, fire trucks and other entertainment stroll down Main Street. Then, once the sun went down, we were… Continue reading Amazing

The word favored came to me recently during a conversation with a close friend. She spoke the word as she shared her story, and I quickly scribbled it on a piece of paper beside me, because I felt it was of significant importance. How important is it to us in our life that we feel… Continue reading Favored
Awake
This word brings to mind a story for me that helps me connect to how important it is to always be awake. My husband always teases me about the time we drove to visit his brother in New Hampshire. One the way up there, the day was gloomy and rainy. He jokes (but unfortunately, it’s… Continue reading Awake
Safe
I felt this word deeply due to a recent incident that a close friend experienced. It made me think back to when in my life I haven’t felt safe. I apologize for taking the negative on this word, but I think until we feel unsafe, we don’t realize how blessed we are when we ARE… Continue reading Safe
Clear – Open your eyes and see!
“The Sound of Music” is one of my favorite all time movies. I have fond memories of my mom taking me to see the movie when I was only 11 years old. I also love one of the songs, “My Favorite Things”, sung by the star, Julie Andrews. Another thought that comes to mind, as… Continue reading Clear – Open your eyes and see!
Attract – Our on-going thirst for God
Birdwatching is in my blood. My mom was a voracious bird watcher and the little knowledge I retained, I learned from her. I remember a particular quiet early morning when the two of us walked along our local railroad tracks. Carrying our family binoculars, she was in search of some new feathered friends. How excited… Continue reading Attract – Our on-going thirst for God
