I’ll be spending one on one time with mentees today. Pray for stamina and strength and intelligence and direction. I want to be a vehicle of blessing to each person. Thanks so much.

Untying
December 1, 2006

My heart’s been atangle bound by chords of language these past two years Even today telephone to ear mouth to receiver I stuttered speech unintelligible Two years old I am A toddler’s bumbling of language on my tongue A tear slipped out as I said au revoir words of yearning and goodbye O to be […]
What I’ll miss about France
November 28, 2006

Every day we walk to school and this is what we see. The little church with its own square. The place (pronounced plahhhce) that we walk through every day. The street we pass by. But more than that, more than the beauty of Southern France in Fall, we will miss our friends. Here is Anne […]
Calm to a Whisper
November 12, 2006

He calmed the storm to a whisper and stilled the waves. What a blessing was that stillness as He brought them safely into the harbor! Psalm 107:29-30
A Simple Sabbath Gift for You
November 12, 2006

Brightly colored sunsets and starry heavens,Majestic mountains and shining seas,Fragrant fields and fresh cut flowers are not even half as beautiful as a soul who is serving Jesus out of love, through the wear and tear of an ordinary, unpoetic life. Frederick William Faber

Sometimes it’s just plain hard
November 8, 2006

And sometimes that is true. But sometimes the little things of living cross-culturally get to me. Those of you […]
Star Wars
November 1, 2006

I admit it, folks. I love Star Wars. LOVE it. Totally. I know I’m not supposed to. All that talk of the force flowing through all living things. And midiclorians (not sure how those are spelled)—what’s with that? I don’t think I have any midiclorians roaming my bloodstream. Anywho, I’ve shared this one before, but […]
ding dang dong
October 11, 2006

The cross in Le Rouret, France Church bells ring in our village, on the hour. I love the hourly reminder that all is well, that the day is progressing with a chime. It’s much nicer than a cuckoo clock. But every once and a while, the bell chimes ding dang dong. The first two notes […]
Words, God, and Me
October 8, 2006

Today I pasted words. My friend Erin sent me all these cool little pieces of art last year, and I’m still fascinated by them. I began flipping through them. As I did, four words stood out to me. Play. Health. Freedom. Abundance. I believe this is what God has for me this year. He wants […]
