Receiving Love from Others

Oct 15, 2021

As I continue to walk this valley of the shadow of my mother’s death with the Lord Himself, I am more deeply aware of the love He has for me.  This love, this substance that scholars and theologians have tried to define and describe for all of time, has manifested in so many tangible ways…

Loving One Another By Listening Well

Mar 30, 2021

This is the second command that Jesus gave to us after He said to Love God.  He stated it several ways and then He gave us the “how” through John’s gospel and epistles.  We can love because we are first loved by the Father.  This is key and I emphasized this as “our part” to…

Welcome to my blog!

I have begun this blog to have a place to share some of the things God has shown me throughout my life. This is a small space for reflection and awareness that this isn’t all there is, and that our lives are not just random happenstance.  There is purpose, and reasons, if we pause long enough to look, rest and reflect.  I hope that as I continue to share with you in this blog that you will begin to see the Grand Design in your own life more clearly.
