A weekend Off

Bright sunshine greets the day.  New babies.  Warmth.  Spring.  It's finally arrived.  The landscape a virtual palette; changing in moments.  A gorgeous weekend.  A gift.  One in which we had off.  Technically we have every other weekend off.  Lately, each "weekend off," has been full.  College visits, travelling.  Taxes.  Farm issues.  But not this weekend.  This weekend was a treasure.  My farmer stayed close by.  Trimming bushes.  Raking the lawn.  Cutting down ...

Grief Is Work And It Takes Time

Some days the breathing is hard.  As if I take a breath and all will spill over.  The breath that will split the scar.  The ache that lies just beneath the surface.  Day after day.  The missing.  The longing.  One more word.  One more hug.  A future.  Where would he be right now?  How is he feeling?  I want to be numb.  I don't want to feel the pain.  It sears and burns.  This thought line is in vain.  It leaves an emptiness that can never be filled.  These desires unfulfilled; this side of ...

Tonight, You Will Dance

Tonight.  Tonight you will dance.  You will dance with new friends and many life long companions.  The stage is your canvas.  So much preparation and vision.  Directors who dream.  Parents who put feet to those dreams.  Year after year.  A gift.  Challenges to move out side your comfort zone.  To gain confidence in the woman God is creating you to be.  And this weekend we celebrate all of you.  The beauty of the Vermont Youth Dancers.  A community created to promote theater and dance.  A place ...

We Can Laugh And We Can Dance, Because He Has Risen

He is risen! Just like he said.  His word; Truth.  He is risen.  He is coming back again.  All of creation will bow.  While we wait.  We seek to live as He did.  We bend knees to the ground in humble submission, as we ponder the walk to the cross.  And as the day dawns we live in hope.  Matthew 28:6 He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. We live in the grace of a RISEN LORD.  Death could not hold him.  Acts 2:24 But God raised him from the dead, freeing him from the agony of death, ... View Post

The Hope In Good Friday

It is Good Friday.  The day we remember.  The life that was given.  The day He gave all, so we may live.  Ann Voskamp in her way says so much.  Click on the link to read her words of hope.  After a Crash and Burn Year  Ann Voskamp Last year we were remembering a dear saint in the faith.  One whose home going I still wrestle with.  A man of such unwavering faith.  So giving.  Such an encouragement to us in our raw grief.  Such a help to my hurting heart.  It's been a year of digging ...

Maundy Thursday

It's Maundy Thursday.  A Holy Day.  The last day that Jesus walked this earth.  He knew his journey.  He willingly went.  The Cost of The Cross.   Click on the link.  My thoughts from last year are still echoed in my heart today, "The journey Jesus took to the cross is the defining piece of my faith. He came into Jerusalem Hailed as King and left Jerusalem via the cross.He took on the dirty and broken; so that we might live. He died to save a wretch like me; when He himself was sinless." ...
