Maybe you left your car behind and planned to rent mopeds once you arrived on the island by fairy only to learn that the moped workers union was currently on strike. {That was our honeymoon experience on Martha’s Island} Perhaps, the rental car company took your reservation, but forgot to hold the car for you. {Seinfeld reference} … More Enjoy the Journey…
Just recently, even though our circumstances have not changed, a door stands illuminated at the edge of our waiting room. I don’t think I’ve ever noticed it there. I imagine Jesus, who embodies light, has placed a spotlight on the door of acceptance. As I ponder life with Him, I realize it’s time. He is beckoning us to walk through this door. … More The Door of Acceptance
The #31days2019 writing challenge has been quite an interesting adventure. I’ve participated in this annual October event for a number of years, and not one year has been like another. In fact, I’m pretty sure that’s part of the draw for me. What’s unusual about this year is that I’ve given myself a whole lot … More Consistently Pondering

Others of us, are asking Jesus to make the introductions. And a few of us are considering whether they want to ask Jesus to open even a window let alone a full door for relationship. … More Open, Reach, Do It Scared
No, I am really curious. Seriously, I want to know. What is it that you experience through your five senses that would cause you to volunteer or apply or simply jump in the middle? … More What Makes You Want to Join?
Trees were an important part of my childhood. Some of my fondest memories are wrapped around the enormous ficus tree, which lived in the center of our cul de sac. The Ficus branches were enough for all the children on the street to claim their own. And with seniority came the right to move up … More Grounded Deep
The extraordinarily beautiful and prosperous fruit tree which has grown up in the middle of this practice is a body of faith. We are none the same, but frequently gathered together to share in the abundant fruit of the Spirit of God. We have needed it – desperately needed this – during the most challenging season of our lives. The prayers of the saints have been powerful and effective, but even more so tenacious for us (all of us) to witness breakthrough after breakthrough. … More None the Same; Gathered As One
