Got Peace?

Peace is manifested to us through theContinue reading “Got Peace?”
Snowy Wonder
There is no feeling quite as this Of cozy and warmth, feelings of bliss The snow that tumbles in each snowflake As in my kitchen I long to bake The earth is quiet in expectation As snow blankets this part of the nation I stand face up and full of worship As praise pours forthContinue reading “Snowy Wonder”

You haven’t heard as much from me on my blog lately. I have been on a personal journey. I’m growing in a new way and it is so exciting!

His Thoughts
His Thoughts I wrote this poem June 14, 2016. My devotional that day assigned me to write briefly about how God may think of me. This is what flowed out of that time sitting in my back garden in the cool of the day. When my chin is down, my face forlorn, You never stareContinue reading “His Thoughts”

Rick and I lead a small group with church every few weeks as a way to get in the Word and connect in life-giving relationships.
