Here I write about the faithfulness of God in my life
and in the lives of saints throughout the ages.
I seek to help us all to take our faith from our heads,
down into our hearts (where we can feel it)
and then to our feet (where we live it)!
Gifts of Lent: Rest from Perfect
As recently illustrated in the Barbie movie, the modern woman (and perhaps all women) can turn themselves inside out trying to perfect being perfect.

Gifts of Lent: Remember God’s promises are for YOU, too!

Gifts of Lent: Remember this world is not our Home
We all like to feel at home. It feeds our natural desire to be comfortable. But where you invest your treasure: time, fortune, gifts will end up feeling like home. So this Lenten season let’s remember that this world is not our Home.
Gifts of Lent: Resting from the Usual

Which shouldn’t be a surprise since God said way back in Isaiah that His thoughts and ways were higher than ours. This Lenten season, let’s take a rest from operating on autopilot.
Gifts of Lent: Remember You are Loved!
Lenten Series: Rest & Remember
The most important thing to remember this Lenten (and every) season: You are dearly loved by your Heavenly Father!
Gifts of Lent: Rest as we Walk with Jesus
Lenten Series: Rest & Remember
It’s easy to forget, in our “pick yourself up by the bootstraps” world, that God never intended for us to walk through it alone. Jesus said, “Come to Me, learn from Me and I will give you rest.”
