The depths of love
I posted before on owing no one anything except love. Paul wrote to the Roman church, “don’t run up huge debts, except the huge debt of love you owe each other.” Lately I’ve been meditating on true, real, heart issued love. Loving when we’re wronged, when we’re cheated or over looked. Keeping our mouths shut when we have a right …
What about Love?
For the past few days, I’ve been meditating on love. Not the love of the world or Hollywood. I’d need spiritual cleansing if I meditated on the common brand of the word. I’ve been meditating on the Jesus version of love. The kind Paul the Apostle wrote about in 1 Corinthians 13. Love is patient, love is kind. Love is …
Bearing His Fragrance
I’m at my mom’s in Tennessee for Thanksgiving. My older brother is here, my youngest brother lives here with his family. Of course, I brought hubby with my. Oh, and my 94 year old Grandma lives here, too. This evening, my sister-in-law and I ran errands. Target, Krogers, a mom and pop pizza joint. About an hour after we brought …
Thanksgiving memory
The fall of ’76, we lived in Homestead, Florida. My parents had a large home group and we all gathered for Thanksgiving, outside, in the side yard of our house. There had to be thirty of us with kids and all. I remember it was a breezy day with thick blue clouds hovering over us. And it was the day …
A Gorgeous Day
The fall days are gorgeous here. Cold, blue sky over green trees and grass. We don’t get much color in Florida. Yesterday and today were days that made me glad to be alive. I felt humbled by my blessings. I deserve none of them, but God in His mercy, gave them anyway. As we go into the Thanksgiving holiday, meditate …
Racial Reconciliation
I read a great blog on Linda Hargrove’s site about racial reconciliation and the reality of one election not fixing all our race issues. She’s right. But, we can go so much farther than we have and are if only we’d be allowed to be who we want to be as a nation. If only we’d heed the words of …
Saturday
It’s been awhile since I posted, so I thought I’d jot a few words. Have I jotted enough yet? 😉 Went to a conference in Orlando yesterday to hear a couple of seasoned men of God. I don’t normally do stuff like this, but I wanted to hear their insights on our current state of politics and economics, and how …

God in our own image
While reading a writing book, I came across this quote of a quote. Anne Lamott in Bird By Bird speaking of the writing process and how writers do not create an elegant first draft. “Not one of them (her writing friends) writes elegant first drafts. All right, one of them does, but we do not like her very much. We …
