The Anticipation of Advent…

…For a second you catch a whiff in the air of some fragrance that reminds you of a place you’ve never been and a time you have no words for. You are aware of the beating of your heart. The extraordinary thing that is about to happen is matched only by the extraordinary moment just…

Entering the Throne Room…
“In the morning, Lord, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait expectantly.” -Psalm 5:3 It’s so easy… yet so hard. I’m up early before leaving for work. I can’t just get up and go. I need time to prepare for the day. I need coffee and…

Lessons learned on a not-so random Saturday…

Random Saturday…
Here it is, Random Saturday again, and I have not posted anything during the week. Oh how I long for the season when writing can be a focal point in my day, not a fleeting thought as I’m drifting off to sleep. As I looked through all of the random writing pieces from my memoir…

Random Saturday…
I have a strong desire to write a book. Recently I’ve started reading a book and working through the practice of writing a memoir. This book is funny in that she just gives me random topics and says to write for ten minutes; uninterrupted. The other day it said, “Tell me everything you know about…
