This word is in my heart like a fire, a fire shut up in my bones. I am weary of holding it in; indeed, I cannot.
Symmetry
I have been at the “bottom of my lap top” since August, doggedly hacking away at the keys to birth these words I have been pregnant with for years. Really I have been at the bottom of my heart. The deep called to deep and I have labored to push it out....
Her Eyes Said Everything
I worshiped with my kids tonight. It’s not really something new. We make a point to have our family sit together in church, but tonight we experienced something a little different. My daughter is fifteen and one of the areas we connect the most is music. We...
Broken Part 3 Glory Hidden, Glory Restored
If we can allow the Lord to circumcise or reunite our hearts, our heart can begin to operate as it was designed to. When the foreskin is removed (by Christ) the glory of God is revealed. We are not merely sinners born broken, we were created in God’s image....
Broken Part 2: Reunited Heart
Does the fact that we are born into sin mean that there is no good thing in us? I believe that the foundation for this idea is rooted in a verse from Romans being taken out of context. Paul writes, “I know that nothing good lives in me…” But, alas, in the...

Do I Look Like My Mom?
Last night I was told by a long time friend that I look like my mom. This was such a loaded statement and I noted that he hesitated to even say it. I know why. My mother was on the order of 50-80 pounds heavier than what she should have been. She struggled...
How Can We Miss Laundry?
I love hanging out with older women. My Auntie was told me recently: "You know Aunt Dottie and I sit around and talk about how we miss the house full of kids and even the piles laundry. Isn't that crazy how can we miss laundry?" So now instead of cursing...
Broken and Crushed
I’ve been sitting here in the quiet for awhile meditating on these two tea cups that I have made into candle holders. The unique thing about them is that they were made in the 60s in Japan and they are not exactly alike. Most things we buy today are factory...
