"We spend our lives making our pile ups and then leave them". This translation of verse Psalm 39:6 seems to capture the futility of how so many of us choose to invest the limited days we have been given. Running around piling up our stuff with things that never last, and rarely satisfy long term. …
Untethering
Untethering is the word I would use to describe what is happening in my heart towards my prior unhealthy agreement with love. Love has been known to me as the highest form of "obligation" any person can have. This obligation could also be defined as a sense of binding, or bound up. In other words, …
Too Dangerous To Desire?
Desire is such a powerful thing. Even the word conjures up various emotions. Yet, for me, God has recently revealed an agreement I made with my younger self many years ago about this thing called love and the desire it brings. I haven't been able to see it before and even now, this revelation is …

In Hope
This sign is in our neighborhood. Don’t know who did it, but it brings a smile each time I see it. It also spurns prayer that all are keeping well during this unique season. No doubt - these days can be frustrating, and create fatigue within us. I know this has been true for …
ONE
For many, social distancing has created a deeper desire for social connection.
