Supernal Sunday – March 3, 2024 Edition
This has been a rough week for me. Really rough. In multiple ways. But it has been rough for several other people close to me too. So, while today’s topic is really appropriate to my life at the moment, I pray that it is also encouraging for the other people who are struggling. First, this …

Thursday Thoughts: Jesus…I Just Can’t…
There are times when, despite everything we try to do, we just can’t do it anymore. In seasons of grief, or depression, or extreme darkness in our lives there seems to be no hope at all. The blackness paralyzes us, holding us in such a grip that we can’t help ourselves. It is in these …

Supernal Sunday – Nov. 27, 2022 Edition
Today is the first Sunday of Advent, the tradition is that of lighting the candle of hope. Though I don’t belong to a high church that celebrates Advent, I love that it gives us a month to think about what the birth of God in the flesh means, and to share His Word, and our …

Thursday Thoughts – March 10, 2022 Edition
I was going to do a health update today because there are so many changes going on…but somehow that doesn’t seem right. I just got a text from my sister, who is on her way to a friend’s memorial service tonight. My heart hurts for her, but it’s impossible to share in another’s grief. It’s …
