My to-read list

Goodreads has been my go to social media for a while. It’s shows what’s new, tells me what my friends are reading, and highlights authors I follow. I stalk it more than Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook. It’s a joy to see what my friends are reading, what they’re highlighting on kindle, and aspire too. Usually,…

’Joice Back

Anne Lamott’s words smacked me in the head. “My pastor, Veronica, said yesterday that God constantly tells us to rejoice, but to do that, to get ’joice back, we need to have had joy before. And it’s never been needed as badly as now, when the world is hurting so badly, because joy is medicine.”…

The Silence

For everything there is an appointed time, and an appropriate time for every activity on earth: … a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; … a time to keep silent, and a time to speak. Ecclesiastes 3:1, 5b, 7b I’ve been struck mute. I know you’ve noticed. I know I promised…

I thought: If he can design a skull every day — I…

{Re} check compass

Several years ago, I read The Checklist Manifesto. One of the most interesting stories was the one of Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger, the pilot who safely landed US Airways Flight 1549 in the Hudson River in January of 2009. It seems an extensive checklist guided the pilot and crew to skillfully and ably land a plane in…

{Re} lease: Time to let it go

I’m a little gutted. Beth Moore stole my thunder. The {re} prefix was all mine. Her voice is admittedly bigger than mine, and when she talks many people listen to her. In a world cluttered with Christian bloggers and writers I really didn’t think that mine could be heard. I kept my thoughts in confinement.…
