Whatever else my life is.it is also this dazzling darkness. Saturday, February 27, 2010. What do you see? When I was 10 years old, I was sitting beside an elderly friend of the family in a country church service. She looked toward the front of the church where a wooden sign displayed information about the morning’s attendance and offering amounts and then commented on what she saw there. I remember turning to her in amazement. “You can read that from here? Isn’t it part of what it means to be human?

But each morning as I made my tea I truly marveled at the perfection of the pot. . Where is beauty to be found? My little tea...

Whatever else my life is.it is also this dazzling darkness. Monday, November 30, 2009. One of my favorite things about living in Alaska is… Snow! But, what is soft, white and gorgeous piled up in my yard, layered on the trees and covering the mountains turns into something dangerous and life threatening on our roads and highways. We received about 10 inches of snow on Friday and then a little more last night, but as I set out to drive my kids to school, I didn’t give the road conditions much thought.

Under the Sycamore Tree. Tuesday, October 22, 2013. O Source of all Life, a prayer. O Source of all Life,. A s once you looked with compassion. On the weary crowds. Who seemed lost and without a shepherd,. Look again upon your people. So desperately in need of renewal. Send your spirit to blow over our dead bones. Resurrect in us a surprising new life. Blow away negative thoughts,. Replace them with hopeful dreams. Blow away critical thoughts;. Replace them with affirming words. Blow away busyness;.

Whatever else my life is.it is also this dazzling darkness. Tuesday, December 22, 2009. A Little More Light. At my church last night we celebrated a service of the Longest Night, held every year on the winter solstice. The Solstice's are important times for us here in the far north. It matters greatly to us that there will be more light today (11 seconds more! You know, to keep trying and to keep believing in the face of the great darkness that we sometimes face is no small thing. It is nothing short...

Excuses we hide behind to avoid growth or change. But there's that old fear of crossing that bridge which spans the ravine. I have tried ...
