Words racing around my head the past 24 hours. I’m embarrassed. A sick feeling in my stomach. My heart is heavy. I can’t breathe. This has to stop. A black man was killed by a cop in broad daylight yesterday in Minneapolis. George Floyd. The cop KNELT on his neck…

As I sit here this afternoon doing my weekly grocery shopping online and menu planning for the upcoming week, I can’t help but notice the huge lump growing in my throat. It resides there most days now. And I hate it. I hate how divided this country is. I hate…

Today’s word is Trust. From Psalm 13:5 “But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation.” As I thought about this word today, I kept coming back to the same picture over and over again. I think I blogged it last year during Lent as well,…

Today’s word is Dream. From Colossians 3:2 – “Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.” How do you dreams help you find your quiet? #cumc #lentenphotochallenge2020 #findingyourquiet Lately…I find my quiet in watching my children sleep. It helps me end my day with peace, quiet, calm, hope, and dreams. Amen!

So I have been MIA this past week due to the entire shift in America’s education paradigm. I am tired, but things are going well. I feel like I missed some awesome words…maybe I’ll go back and revisit them after Lent is over. This seems to be a calming exercise…

Life has been surreal this past week. I missed Saturday’s post, and I am late with tonight’s post, but life happens. So, for my seasoned readers, you know I like to have Ketchup (or Catch Up) posts, not mustard posts. Here we go… Today was surreal. The past few days…

“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” (Psalm 147:3) All day today, I had this word in the back of my mind as I try to understand all that is going on in the world right now with the Coronavirus, or Covid – 19. My heart hurts for…

Today’s word is Grow. The reading is from Galatians 6:9. “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” Wow. Read that verse again. “Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the…

That’s today’s word for our Lenten Challenge. “The Lord has done it this very day; let us rejoice today and be glad.” – Psalm 118:24 I’m not going to lie. I am really struggling with what is going on in our world right now. It’s scary to walk through uncharted…

Guide. Isaiah 58:11 – “The Lord will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.” How does God guide you? How do you know?  #cumc #findingyourquiet #lentenphotochallenge2020 I wasn’t…
