I’ve been reading through the books of Samuel again lately, and one character in a particular story stuck out to me today. It’s Michal, daugher of Saul. Specifically how the story says she sees David, her husband, dancing as he is bringing the ark of the covenant back to Jerusalem – and essenially calls him… Continue reading Just a pawn on a chess board

Asking for too much too soon
Hi all It’s been a bit hasn’t it? I look back and realize it was May since my last post, and needless to say it’s been a full summer. Good and hard things alike, and I just needed to take a break from writing. That being said, with weather cooler in the morning and more… Continue reading Asking for too much too soon
What happens when you dream with God
Last summer I watches my friend’s cat for two weeks in one of my favorite places in Colorado. Normally I would have used all my afternoons and evenings to do everything outdoors that I could – hike, trail ride, go paddle boarding, sit in the hot springs. You get the idea. And yet… I sensed… Continue reading What happens when you dream with God
Finding Ourselves in the Deep Sigh of Abram
I was reading in Genesis 14 this morning, the story of early tribal warfare, if you will, where a bunch of kings teamed up together, fought and plundered some other kings, and essentially took Lot and all his household and animals with them. Abram did what would have been expected of family – he went… Continue reading Finding Ourselves in the Deep Sigh of Abram
Looking into 2023
So here we are Christmas has come and gone, and while the decorations are still up, presents may still be strewn around the tree, and our bodies are still recovering from all the sugary treats, the days on the calendar still flip and life goes on. Tonight we celebrate 2022 taking its place in history.… Continue reading Looking into 2023
A wedding, a snowboard, and a letter
I had the privilege of doing the wedding ceremony for a young couple last night, an amazing and unique young woman that I met when I first started dating my husband. I saw her leading worship, guitar in hand, dressed in a beanie and converse on a stage of people in a bit dressier garb.… Continue reading A wedding, a snowboard, and a letter
Finding Freedom: A Pride Month Devotion
I have made it a practice these past few years to spend time during the month of June to purposely write about how I see passages of scripture differently now. I guess you might say they are words of pleading for my more conservative siblings in the faith to reconsider their position on the LGBTQ… Continue reading Finding Freedom: A Pride Month Devotion
The doubt of Easter
I know according to the church calendar, today is considered Maunday Thursday, the day that remembers Jesus last supper with his disciples, his new covenant, and his commissioning of them to walk out a new way of life – of serving each other – and a new command – to love. In other words, its… Continue reading The doubt of Easter
When you lose sight of things
I didn’t grow up doing much around lent. Throuhout the years, I’ve experienced a variety of traditions of how people observe the lenten season – from fasting on Fridays, to fasting from alcohol, desserts or other food, to adding in a new practice. This year I chose a specific Lenten devotional that focused on the… Continue reading When you lose sight of things
Girls weekend!!
I went on a mini girls retreat this past weekend, in a cabin in the mountains of Pennsylvania. It was just what I didn’t know I needed. As we poured over the scrapbooks full of memories, we laughed and remembered stories and things from mission trips, church outreaches, “Thursday night lineup”, beach trips and watching… Continue reading Girls weekend!!
