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”

Journey to Redemption
Easter Sunday has arrived in many parts of the world; where I live, it’s tomorrow. The past few days have been incredibly moving for me. Having grown up in a rather sedate Lutheran church, there were no “stations of the cross,” Good Friday services or much reflection on the sanctity of Holy Week. We recognizedContinue reading “Journey to Redemption”

I received in my email today, a note from someone I don’t know – that encouragedContinue reading “Pieces of Support”
Pieces of Refuge
When we are fearful, feeling alone, unsure or a myriad of other emotions that make us want to crawl into a cave or throw a blanket over our heads, what better time than to seek refuge from your heavenly Father? He is better than a cold, dark cave, and brings light back into our heartContinue reading “Pieces of Refuge”
