Lessons Learned in the Garden of Life. Wednesday, December 26, 2012. Renewed Focus, New Direction. This is an exciting time of the year for me. God faithfully uses the holiday season, from Thanksgiving through Christmas to the New Year, to stir my heart, clean out dry and useless areas of my life, and bring fresh direction for the coming year. Too often in past years, the busyness, focus on buying, wrapping and giving gifts, overload of preparations, overload of food and so many other distractions have d...

In the past few days I have spent much time communicating with friends who are in crisis situations; one with her child, one facing the possibility of cancer, and another who is dealing with the diagnosis of a disease that the doctor’s say has no cure but which may have devastating implications on her future quality of life.

Lessons Learned in the Garden of Life. Monday, March 28, 2011. What do you have? Last summer, the Lord began to work something into my spirit.
