“You encouraged people…”

March 4, 2009

Yesterday I had an interesting lunch date. It all started a couple of weeks ago when I received a call at the office. It was a bad cell phone connection, and the person on the other end spoke with a bit of an accent so I wasn’t able to pick out everything that was being [...]

68 weeks

February 16, 2009

68. That’s how many weeks it has been since the last time I was “in church”. 68 Sundays ago, I went for what I thought may be the last time. I said what I had to say. I drove away, alone. The snow. It came early that year. It was snowing when I drove home. [...]

I was looking through some of the comments from my post entitled “A Quiet longing after a busy weekend” and one particular comment caught my eye. “Sis” wrote: …I feel compelled to join a group of people of faith that are standing up for injustice in the world, rather than trying to evangelize to the [...]

Twinkle twinkle little star…

September 9, 2008

A couple of weeks ago, I put up this night light in my little girl’s bedroom. The first night I turned it on for her, I heard singing coming from her room in the middle of the night. I went over and found her lying in her bed, looking at the star and singing “Twinkle [...]

Coming out of the fetal position

August 29, 2008

I walked by my daughter’s room just now and saw her sleeping in her favorite fetal position: head and knees tucked into her chest and a couple of fingers in her mouth. When my daughter is sleeping like that, she is in her ‘happy place’. Medical text books tell us that the body goes into [...]

Dust and Ashes

August 25, 2008

Dust and Ashes. Dust is what you end up with when things are crushed. Ashes are what you are left with after things are burnt. There is no better place to learn about life than when you are sitting “in dust and ashes”. For the dust and ashes are life’s way of teaching you to [...]
