This week has left me scared. There is no other way to describe how I am feeling. I am scared for our country; I am scared for our churches; I am scared for my family; I am scared for my friends; I am just scared. Over the past couple of months, I have tried to… Continue reading Pray

Weary
This week has been yet another in which we find ourselves confronted with the fact that although we may appear and feel as if we are moving forward, we haven’t taken a step. My heart grieves, my soul cries out, and I feel lost. This is not about left or right; it is about trying… Continue reading Weary

This week, as I mixed cookie dough in a bowl identical to the… Continue reading Joy to the World

Typically, I bring samples to the ChristmasFest at our church to the delight of many people, but 2020. Instead, this year, I will be surprising a few friends whom I… Continue reading God is Love
Peace Be With You
