Waiting

Waiting. Ugh! I don’t know anyone who likes this word. And yet, so much of our lives is spent that way. One of the most visual forms of waiting is during pregnancy. Those of us on the “outside” can see progress toward that wonderful and beautiful day. However, the brain of the mom is constantly… Continue reading Waiting

We Are What?

I’d like to change how you see yourself just a bit. Those of us who love God with all of our hearts are called to a higher purpose. But it also makes us part of a very special group of people—God’s  inheritance! Say what? Yes, that is a “head-scratcher” for sure. How could we, with… Continue reading We Are What?

Wounding Words

Shhh! You are too loud! Can't you just sit still for once? I don't have time for this (you). Your body language offends people. You're too big to dance. Don't be so bull-headed.

I mean when someone degrades us, or we can’t accomplish something we have worked really hard at. Or when we realize that we have screwed up big time. Or we disappoint someone whom we love… Continue reading The Great Recycler
