Today is the beginning of Lent. Jesus' journey into the wilderness. A journey he took willingly. Alone. For forty days. The bible is quiet on what happened during that time. One is left pondering what the Savior endured. We know his sustenance did not come from food. He feasted on time with God. He knew what was coming. His time; short. Death drew near. Yet he purposed on. He went to the wilderness so he could feast on the Goodness that awaited. When Jesus stepped out from the wilderness. The enemy Satan was right there to greet him. He gave him no time or warning. He was ... View Post
His Room is Still Empty. . .And So Is The Tomb
His room is still empty. I climb to the top of the stairs. It has become cluttered again. . . with stuff. Stuff that isn't his. Extra baggage that doesn't belong there. Our new adventure has consumed much energy. Each time a list complete. . . another, just as long, emerges. Details begat more details. Things we hadn't noticed before, began to come to light. We were taking the time to examine. My quiet time has been filled with me talking. Me requesting. Pushing off time in the ... View Post

To feel there is more; just beyond our reach. The boundaries; set to protect us. Protect us from ... View Post

When You Measure Life in Months
The 28th has rolled around again. Life is like that. The beat ever steady. Moving forward. Relentless. 22 months have passed. Each day reliving, longing. Trying to shake the words, "There's been an accident." Longing for my boy. Longing for the way things were. Yet, longing to be more like Christ. Yearning to made into His likeness. That my words and actions reflect the deep love He has shown us. And I fall short. My words and actions the very opposite of what they need to be. So, I surrender ... View Post
Lessons From the Coffee Pot
No rich smell of coffee reached my senses as I stumbled through the kitchen. My caffeine deprived system trying to register the day, the mess all at once. That is when my eye sight cleared enough to see. My coffee pot. In pieces. With no rich, aromatic coffee smells emanating from it. No beautiful perking sounds. Just pieces and parts on the counter. I knew this might be happening.I had inside information and I failed to act. Yesterday, it was a 2 pot kind of a day. After 20 years of marriage my farmer ... View Post
