I do guided imagery at night sometimes when I can’t sleep. It is also an effective prayer tool. Jesus saw that I was sad, grieving my sister – He asked if I would join Him on a walk. And we did, through beautiful gardens, with fragrant blooms and delightful colors. He told me that theContinue reading “Walking with Jesus”

Moved to Tears
Today in church, I was moved to crying during this song. I have heard before and always have the same reaction. Palm Sunday is such an emotionally potent day. Imagine being Jesus, you arrive to Jerusalem, the people are waving palm fronds at you, laying down their garments for your lowly donkey to walk over,Continue reading “Moved to Tears”
Writing Doldrums
I have been uninspired to write. This is unlike me, because I love to write. I love to share the messages that God gives to me. He is still sending the words, and I’m still receiving them, but….. I don’t know. Today after duking it out with a seller on Ebay and then getting aContinue reading “Writing Doldrums”
Grieving Pieces
Last month I shared the loss of my friend Carol who passed away after battling cancer, the death of her husband and her zest for life. I think the latter is what is the most sad. We’ve had another loss in our family; the kids’ mom, my husband’s first wife. She also was tired ofContinue reading “Grieving Pieces”
Growth Pieces
As we walk in faith, growth builds our spiritual character. I remember as a young child, attending Sunday school, how fun it was singing “Jesus Loves Me,” and learning about Noah. Or making macaroni necklaces at camp. As I was confirmed into my Lutheran church, there was a lot of scripture memorization and being ableContinue reading “Growth Pieces”
Pieces of Discontent
We don’t one day, just decide we aren’t happy/satisfied/content with our life. It usually is a slow process of disappointment, sadness, guilt, or a myriad of emotions. But the thing we have to remember (beat my head against the wall), is that our God doesn’t want us living by emotions. He wants us to trustContinue reading “Pieces of Discontent”
Lent Pieces
Lent is an incredibly powerful time of year. We read daily scripture or stories leading up to the arrest, judgment, crucifixion, resurrection, 40 days Jesus lived on earth and the final ascension. It’s important as believers that we know WHY we are saved, the sacrifice that was made for our freedom from sin, forgiveness andContinue reading “Lent Pieces”
Pieces of Sunday
Some churches have opened with specific rules, smaller groups, masks. I have still not felt comfortable to make this journey. Instead my Sundays looks a lot different. I do not “honor the Sabbath,” I do chores and grocery shop and pull some weeds in the garden. I intentionally find time in the Word, with MotherContinue reading “Pieces of Sunday”
Pieces of Emptiness
My trip to Scotland and Ireland was wonderful, but it’s always good to be home. Summer is winding down fast here in Western Wisconsin, our maple tree is half orange and dropping leaves, right on schedule; usually the third week in September the trees start to change color. In this post I want to writeContinue reading “Pieces of Emptiness”
Pieces of the World
I’ve traveled to Germany, Amsterdam, Canada, Mexico and a few Caribbean islands. I was born and raised in the United States and at 54 this might seem like a small list. I am not a world traveler by any means, but I am……becoming one! We leave in a few days for Ireland and Scotland. ManyContinue reading “Pieces of the World”
