Pregnant. And an Encounter with a Lady I have Never Met. In Africa.

I step out.  Again. The deck from our condo.  Overlooking the ocean. For glass doors do little to hide my fascination to the wide open.  And I am drawn to it…..like a gazelle in the Savannah.  A dry and thirsty one….hoping for more than a mirage in the desert. And nothing more. Separating. Water and sky. […]

A Confession of Resurrecting, Idols of “Expectations”

Ever uncover an idol?  No, really?  A real life, without a doubt, idol? I have. “Expectations.” See.  Like the golden calf. I keep formulating my own personal visions.  When the path seems black.  And I cannot see.   Yes, God may start my journey.  As I tread boldly out into open waters.  But then, somehow. Somewhere along […]

Ponderings from the Pond 4: The Voice of God.

Sitting down with the Lord. This time.  Just doesn’t suffice.  So I open the doors.  And am carried outside. Where God speaks best. Armed with camera.  Total abandonment.  And rejoicing in the goodness of God.  Seeing my son returning after nine months on missions. Passing by.  Fire pit.  But God-eyes see it different.  This time.  An […]

When Righeousness and Peace Kiss.

Mercy and truth have met together              Righteousness and Peace have kissed.                             Truth shall spring out of the earth                                              And righteousness shall look down from Heaven.                                                                                Yes, the Lord will give what is good.                                                                               And our land will yield its increase.                                                                                                                                                                  Righteousness will go before Him.                                                                                                                 And shall make His footsteps our path. So, my daughter […]
