It’s been 20 years since I walked across the stage of the newly constructed gymnasium in the new student center of a small Christian college in Southern California. It’s been twenty years since my name was called and my parents, adopted grandparents, and a few friends clapped. With a pin from the honor society on […]

Renew
It was a humid spring morning, the air still holding a great deal of moisture from the storms that had rolled through the night before. There were clouds on the horizon, ones that threatened to bring rain. But I was outside nevertheless. I had gotten new hiking shoes a few day prior and wanted to […]
Why are you weeping?
Small bells, made for children’s hands, clamored joyously from the front of the sanctuary as the congregation sang a simple hymn about knowing Jesus loves them. The sound was effervescently exuberant, melding magically and shining brightly despite a bit of discord in the melody. The kids, ever hopeful, were making a joyful noise for those […]
Magic
“When did we all stop believing in magic? Why did we put all our hopes in a box in the attic?” ~ Katy Perry “Daisies” I was at work when I first heard the song that the above line came from. It harkened my mind back to one of my favorite quotes, a sentiment that […]
Recharge
Yesterday, I was so over being around people. I was exhausted beyond measure because I have been pushing myself to do more and more and haven’t had time to decompress. The introvert within me needed some moments without pressure. Despite my exhaustion, I knew I had to find solitude. I needed to recharge my soul. […]
Blessings
It’s March. It’s nearly spring and green is becoming the color of the season. Saint Patrick’s Day is fast approaching, which means many blessings attributed to the Irish abound.

Click on the […]
Repent
Yesterday was Ash Wednesday, the start of the Lenten season in the Christian calendar. For many, it is a time of reflection and fasting, to give up something. It’s a time to test one’s self-discipline or take up a way to better one’s self. It’s a time to remember and to repent. Repent. Like fellowship […]
Doldrums
The other day, my little swath of the Midwest had a winter storm that dumped several inches of snow on the ground. It made a mess of things, as storms often do, but the next day was beautiful. I ended up taking a short walk enjoying the snow for what it was worth. But I […]
