Eyes on Jesus. Watching His eyes to learn how He loves everyone on whom His gaze rests. Jesus is a Good Shepherd. Listening to His heart as He blesses, teaches, corrects, and sings with delight over His sheep. Watching the love and delight in His countenance as He hears the varied and distinctive voices of … Continue reading Watching & Waiting
I'm sharing this very small platform with my parents because they matter, and their voices are important. We have somewhat lost the wisdom of learning from our elders, and our society is the worse for it.
One of the things I appreciate most in life is an honest conversation. Unfortunately, these are rare in today's world. Rare things only increase in value, so there's the silver lining, I guess.
Peace, unfortunately, has not been consistent over the many months of this strange year. Just in our tiny corner of the world we've experienced some of the most bizarre situations, which have threatened to pit neighbor against neighbor.

Fretting might be the easiest "go to" activity in a waiting room. However, God says don't fret - don't worry. Then He offers all of these other activities to take the place of worrying about circumstances we can't control anyway.
