What I’ve Learned about The Crimson Word
Psalm 19: 1-2 The heavens declare the glory of God and the earth reveals His handiwork. Day after day utters speech and night after night reveals knowledge. Oftentimes when I think about God weaving His story into nature I think of mountains, and oceans, the moon and stars, the Grand Canyon, Niagara Falls…Sometimes, His fingerprints are smaller… In the Jewish interpretation of Scriptures there is a
Paying Attention to Where God Is Resting
Once upon a time I put my whole heart into a book called, Finding Deep and Wide and I became increasingly excited as the January 2020 launch approached. Recognize that date? I couldn’t have anticipated my book baby being swallowed up in the noise of a world-wide epidemic, but so it was. Its message never seemed to have a chance of finding the people I
Discovering it isn’t so small after all
Settle in a moment if you have the time. I want to challenge all of us with a different way of thinking about that one small step we need to take today, that one action we've been putting off, that one phone call we need to make, that one decision hanging in the balance, that one step into the rest of our lives. And I

How to live in a broken world
She has no idea of the evil gripping and ripping into our world, no concept of the tremendous grief and anger surging. I see her smile and I hear their wails. I’m present with her as I pray for them.

Have Yourself a Meaningful Little Christmas
The message fell into my heart weeks ago and stayed with me, “Have yourself a Meaningful Little Christmas.” I didn’t know what I was meant to do with it, but I determined to listen. I’ve learned if I’ll value God’s inside voice, He’ll elaborate. Granted, I recognized the gentle spin of the lyrics from the old Christmas classic. I’m not that dense. But any meaning beyond
COVER REVEAL!
It hit me like a ton of bricks! I revealed the cover of the new book on social media a full month ago now-- and I didn't share it with y'all. That's a HUGE fail on my side of the screen. I owe this community an apology. Forgive me. Please. Many of you have been with me for decades now and many of you have
