Again Seeker
An {again} seeker like me chases {re} words, the agains of rest, and repeat events that make life interesting.
My home is sacred space. It’s where I eat, sleep, and go about the affairs of my daily life. It’s sacred because Keck is here, friends and family are welcome, and strangers become friends. As I made the bed this morning, I felt the need to bless it. For good sleep, good sex, and good…
Read MoreEarlier this year when I heard the news the Aretha Franklin passed, I couldn’t help but hum the anthem: R-E-S-P-E-C-T. The repetition of the “re, re, re, re” kind of keeps me going. Franklin’s 1967 version became an anthem for women of the time. I’ve been very interested in the women’s movement and where we…

Recrudescence is a new word for me. I love it when I find new again words. It means a new outbreak after a period of abatement or inactivity. Interestingly, Merriam-Webster it derives from the Latin, in which it means to become raw again. It sounds oddly like a bad rash. It’s used most often in…

As you know, I’m a Jane Austen fan. A Jane-ite. Currently, I’m rocking my “Obstinate, headstrong girl” t-shirt and I just finished watching the Lifetime Channel’s rendition of Pride and Prejudice Atlanta. I know the story so well that when I see these remakes I’m always comparing them to the book itself. I loved the…

Today is Pentecost Sunday. I’m often reminded of this musing from several years ago. I hope you enjoy it — is a bit of a meandering story. But one that I know brings the Comforter close to my heart. It was an annual event. Five days of nonstop GO. I will likely never forget the…

It wasn’t a purchase we wanted to do again. We thought we did the right thing the first time. But, we didn’t. The floor in the den is uneven. When Macy was alive, we moved a chair a little bit. I took a tumble trying not to land right on her. The carpet was defective.…

It’s our summer guilty pleasure: American Ninja Warrior. Never ones to watch in real time we sometimes (when we’re behind) binge watch. We caught up tonight. The thing about it is it’s often quite inspirational. From stories about overcoming poverty and homelessness, to dog rescuers, to working with and for children with alopecia, the stories…

It’s been the story of my life today. I’m looking to update my guest room. I need some extra storage space for some of my clothes, but mostly I need room for my books and my writing projects. They’re scattered about the house in boxes and cabinets, piled on tables, and stuffed under the bed.…

We tear down arguments and every arrogant obstacle that is raised up against the knowledge of God, and we take every thought captive to make it obey Christ. 2 Corinthians 10:4b-5 Our thoughts can make or break us. My creative coach, Jill, told me that I needed to switch out what I say. Instead of using…
