Week 3: Psalm 29-41

We returned very late last night from a family vacation to Southern California, so I’m in the midst of emptying suitcases, washing clothes and sorting beach toys.  My word, how I wanted to stay – there were so many times I wanted to bottle the sea air and sounds and bring it back home with…

Week 5: Psalm 57-72

Happy Day after the 4th of July!  Anyone a little tired today?  I’m guessing most of us got up this morning a little worn out after a good (but long) day of fun followed by a fabulous (but late) night of fireworks.  So let’s grab some coffee (seriously!) and dive right into it. PSALM 57-72…

Week 6: Psalms 73 – 80

One of my dearest friends has a daughter with autism.  I remember getting the painful email from Jennifer, telling us of the confirmed diagnosis.  Delaney was only 2 years old.  Because I don’t have a child with autism, I can only imagine the depth of the pain that such a diagnosis would bring.  The intensity…

Week 8: Psalm 90-102

I love weddings.  I’ve been to several this summer, but the one I attended this past weekend was truly stunning.  Not because of an extravagant budget or Hollywood crowd, but because of the incredible beauty of the bride and the love of her groom. As Elaine took that first dance with her husband, I sat…

Have any of you ever grown impatient with God?  Anybody ever wonder why His timing isn’t quite aligning with yours?  Anyone ever wanted an answer, a solution, a deliverance? Yeah, me too.  And it all crept up on me a few days ago… I was getting around to go for a walk.  Doesn’t that sound…

Week 11: Psalms 120-134

What fills your heart this week?   For me, my mother’s heart is full of emotions.  As my three oldest prepare to head back to school (two of them in full-day for the first time), I am surprisingly less excited than I anticipated.  Someone asked “aren’t you thrilled?”  Not today.   I wonder if my…
