Murmur

---

Can you see into my heart, oh, God?  Can others? My doctor detected a tiny heart murmur- nothing major, but today I had an echo-cardiogram just to be sure. Of course, God used that for a message, another life example of His love. Sonograms are mind-boggling to me. How that gel-doused wand waving over my skin can [...]

Faith+Action

Discipline of the heavenly kind

But now, O Lord, Thou art our Father, We are the clay, and Thou our potter; And all of us are the work of Thy hand. (Isaiah 64:8) When I became a single mom, nearly a year and a half ago, I had no idea how tough it would be. My daughters were 11 and [...]

The little things

---

When I was young, my mother would do little things to let me know she loved me. There would be a note in my lunch box. She’d cut my PB&J sandwiches into shapes with raisins and Cheerios for the eyes and mouth. In the morning I ‘d find my favorite outfit pressed and lying on [...]

This is a ceremony each year when the Hebrew people gather in tents for a week to pray, visit, eat [...]

BAM.

And every work which he began in the service of the house of God in law and in commandment, seeking his God, he did with all his heart and prospered. 2 Chronicles 31:21 King Hezekiah of Judah is one of my favorite kings in the Old Testament. He walked closely with his God, and God [...]

Out of Sight

And Sarah died at Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron) in the land of Canaan, and Abraham went in to mourn for Sarah and to weep for her. And Abraham rose up from before his dead and said to the Hittites, “I am a sojourner and foreigner among you; give me property among you for a burying [...]

He’ll take it from here

I have a client whom I write for, and who just happens to be one of the best clients I’ve ever had. I’ve been working with him for about four months. He lives in New York and I live in Washington, so most of our communication is via email, but sometimes phone calls. For the [...]

Lost now found

I returned from a weekend trip, pulled into my apartment complex , and reached up to the visor to punch the remote control for my garage door, anticipating the blessed whirr and light which would come on – my mechanical welcome home sign after hours on the road.  But,  familiar black box with the gray button was [...]
