People identify in a myriad of ways. It’s no longer “married, gay, straight” or male/female, the way we identify people of color has changed too, and also pronouns. So much has changed, but in the realm of things; nothing has changed. Why? Because God loves every single human being. Period. God is Love. Now, theContinue reading “LGBTQIA+”

Complicated Pieces
Do you have someone in your life; with whom it feels very complicated? Perhaps a son-in-law, manager, neighbor? It’s hard isn’t it, to be mindful of gentleness when around these people? I like to think that it’s a reflection on our own self, how we treat this person. If we are begrudging, then that isContinue reading “Complicated Pieces”
Pieces of Discernment
Oftentimes we are given a scripture or thought to spend time figuring out. Maybe it was easily understandable — but other times, we can’t make heads or tails over the meaning, or if it’s even a message for US. This is when spiritual discernment steps in. Find a trusted advisor, someone who is spiritually sound,Continue reading “Pieces of Discernment”
Blessing pieces
2 Peter 3 reminds us that all happens in God’s time; not ours.

Pieces of Support
Oftentimes (usually) we are unaware of those who pray for us, or our loved ones – due to the many prayer circles we belong to and friendships we have (and those of the people we know and don’t know). I received in my email today, a note from someone I don’t know – that encouragedContinue reading “Pieces of Support”
Pieces of Self Care

However, it’s important we know when to care for ourselves, by letting others know — hey we need a break, or a nap, or I just requireContinue reading “Pieces of Self Care”
Pieces of Sharing
Philippians 2:1-3 Imitating Christ’s Humility 2 “Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, 2 then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind.Continue reading “Pieces of Sharing”
Pieces of discontent
There are many times in our life when we are annoyed with others. We feel justified. The world keeps spinning on its axis no matter what is going on with us. God expects us to be patient and kind and loving. ALL, not most of the time. We are not justified, and we all tooContinue reading “Pieces of discontent”
