“Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.” Psalm 90:14 NIV Receive each day as a special gift from the Lord. A special occasion. Live in the “Sacred Present.” These thoughts from Cynthia Heald, author of Becoming A Woman of Simplicity, have impacted my life each morning since I heard them. During the week before Spring Break, I awoke each morning thinking … Continue reading →
Image from Google I knew it was coming but I couldn’t stop it. It’s that pain every mother feels. That gut-wrenching, ripping, tearing when one of her children is yanked out from her covering pinions. The culprit. Independence. A time to prove myself.

More than just a need to spread one’s own … Continue reading →

Life tossed us a curve ball when more than an earthquake uprooted hundreds of us women from our carefree family lives in California. We were driven across the mighty Colorado, actually just a meandering river at the Interstate 10 state border, and transplanted into the blazing desert sun of Arizona. But have no fear, we were told, “It’s a dry heat.” No kidding! We only saw water in washes swollen from the summer monsoon deluges. Those were few and … Continue reading →
Photo purposely blurred Tears trickled down my cheeks as I saw the young man’s picture. He standing there in camouflage, arm around his wife. The same age as our youngest–friends when they were little, spending hours as imaginary superheroes. Now, this young man was playing a real superhero–the role of his life for his country.
