Loving God, Loving Others, Loving Yourself, and Loving Life
MY CHILD I feel your breath as if the Holy Spirit is breathing on me. I see your eyes look at me with pure love. Your heart beats in rhythm with mine as we stay closely connected. Your tiny hand grabs my finger in complete and total trust. You share your honest, unfiltered emotions and know…
I have always dreamed of being a grandparent. There are not really words to adequately describe what happens to a family when a new life is brought into the world. As we are going through this amazing event I am trying to be very intentional in my daily observations of how our lives are changing…
It was Sunday morning and our church was full. The choir had just sung a beautiful song of praise. Six new followers of Jesus declared “Jesus is Lord” as they participated in believer’s baptism. As a congregation, we sang songs of the cross and of God’s love. I sat in my usual spot at the…
