Ordinary Gratitude

Aware of my practice of choosing a word to focus on for the new year, a friend asked me what my word for 2021 was. Still reeling from 2020, and especially since Covid-19 had invaded my family and changed our Christmas plans, I hadn't given it much thought. Flattered that an inquiring mind wanted to know, I settled in for ... read more

Tuning In To God’s Frequency

A friend bought a used car a few months ago. It was an unusual shade of green, which was one of the reasons she chose it. Soon, she started seeing cars of this color on the highways and in parking lots everywhere. She assumed the color had suddenly become trendy. Psychologists chalk this phenomenon up to frequency ... read more

Becoming Like Little Children

I stuck close to home at the beginning of this pandemic, wearing a mask only when I ventured out in public. Cleaning protocols were simple because there weren’t many visitors in my home.

When God Calls

“A man’s heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps.”  Proverbs 16:9 (NKJV) Every story has a beginning, middle, and end, referred to as Acts I, II, and III in theater. I’m in ACT III of life. I thought my path was set. I was coasting along. I was happy. I had time for the grandchildren, time to write my ... read more

In May, reports surfaced that Facebook had conducted an internal study to determine if claims were true that the platform polarizes its users.

Blessed are the Peacemakers

I traveled to Minneapolis last week to visit family—a trip planned long before the riots incited by the pivotal murder of George Floyd. The occasion was a happy one, to meet a new grand baby. In this home filled with peace, love and joy, it was hard to wrap my head around the events that had occurred fifteen short minutes ... read more

He Restores My Soul

On a trip to Florida’s Gulf Coast, I witnessed a beach restoration project. The beach, seriously eroded by high winds and surging waves caused by tropical storms, had all but disappeared. In fact, the coast had washed away to the point that high tide threatened the beachfront properties. The Atlantic Ocean that stole the ... read more

Becoming a Mary

We live a fast-paced lifestyle. Our culture is driven to succeed, to acquire, to achieve. With the internet, we learned to rely on instant answers to our questions, instant delivery, and instant gratification. It often seemed the world was spinning faster than ever. And now, due to the Coronavirus and the ... read more

Mastering Anxiety During Tough Times

Worry is a thin stream of fear trickling through the mind. If encouraged, it cuts a channel into which all other thoughts are drained. A.S. Roche Mnemonic (ni-mon-ik) is a term I learned when I studied education. It’s a memory technique that helps us recall important and relevant information, and teachers use them to ... read more
