My Dance

I danced with Jesus today. Before I go further in telling you about my dance, let me open the window of my life wide enough to give you a sneak-peak into the loneliness I was struggling with after Rudolph’s sudden and unexpected death. There are no words to describe the sheer shock and complete emptinessContinue reading “My Dance”

I See Light, I See Hope

Those are the words that race through my mind and into a whispered gasp as I glance out the window, “OMG… I see light. I see hope!” I stop what I’m doing and stare out across the yard, past the neighbor’s stark flat roof, and out over the river to the flickering city lights thatContinue reading “I See Light, I See Hope”

My Prayer – Do Something

In this world of uncertainty, I am so grateful that there is an anchor and a certainty in God. While the world seems to be spinning out of control, there is a God who is still in control. And, in the midst of smoke, storms, and chaos, the safest place to be is to restContinue reading “My Prayer – Do Something”

Smoke, Storms & Oxygen

I try to breathe but the dense air makes me cough as I inhale. I squint as I look out across the haze and my burning eyes blink uncontrollably as I strive to focus on the scene just beyond my backyard. I feel like I might suffocate. I need oxygen. How can this be? TheContinue reading “Smoke, Storms & Oxygen”

Giving In Grieving

While listening to Matthew 14 this morning, It hit me that two of the most spoken about miracles that Jesus did (the feeding of 5,000+, and Peter walking on water) were done while He was grieving the loss of someone very dear to Him. Perhaps you could say John the Baptist was Jesus’ spiritual leader,Continue reading “Giving In Grieving”

The Future Was Yesterday

And we’re now in the unknown. As we careen through these crazy corridors of the unknown we must proceed trepidatiously. We must be thoughtful, and prayerful. As we navigate this new era of unknown, we can shape it, change it. We can create it. However, we cannot ignore it. We cannot do nothing. We mustContinue reading “The Future Was Yesterday”

The Sound of… What?

“Been thinking about all of you!” The above is what I wrote earlier today (yesterday) while I was out on my walk along the river. Now I lay here in bed in the middle of the night, and my head is jumbled up with all sort of thoughts. My heart isn’t racing as you mightContinue reading “The Sound of… What?”

Worship In Hope

When tears drown my words, I worship in Hope.When shrapnel of life cuts at my inner soul, I worship in Hope.When I grasp for faith, I worship in Hope.When burning pain pierces the night, I worship in Hope.When I feel empty and alone, I worship in Hope. And, when I worship in Hope, He showsContinue reading “Worship In Hope”

Thank You For The Tears

God, in every tear I cry, and every sob I take, in every deep, dark, throbbing ache that’s hidden in the cluttered closets of my inner soul, I thank you God for what I feel. I thank you God that I can feel. I thank you that while I am feeling all alone you areContinue reading “Thank You For The Tears”

Why do I even wanna do this blogging thing?

So the truth is: I don’t like to talk about myself. It’s boring. When you’ve read the book “Nothing Ever Happens On My Street” you’ll understand (or maybe not) what I’m talking about. Why do this then? All I’m trying to do is journal my thoughts somewhere. I need to capture my journey. This isn’tContinue reading “Why do I even wanna do this blogging thing?”
