Yesterday was a very enlightening day for me. I started off by attending an inspiring, energizing talk by a a wonderful sister in Christ. She talked about anxiety, depression, and lots of other behavioral health issues that her family has experienced over the years. It was compelling, certainly, to listen to, and then uplifting to … Continue reading Lift Up Your Eyes

Morning Offering
Some days are really different from others, aren't they? Some days are memorable for completely different reasons.

“Fearfully and Wonderfully Made”*
Did you watch Sunday's Super Bowl half-time show? I'll bet if you didn't see it live you watched at least a portion of it later on YouTube or some other social media site because LOTS of people were talking about it immediately afterwards and on Monday morning it was hard to ignore. I was dismayed … Continue reading “Fearfully and Wonderfully Made”*

Fighting My Battles
Psalm 30 is such a trove of consolation and encouragement. I found it the other day, as the Holy Spirit would have it, while looking for something to share with a young lady who was grieving the loss of a loved one. I have lots of options, obviously, but Psalm 30 was the thing that … Continue reading Fighting My Battles

Below is another one of my entries for the San Diego Walk for Life website's blog. I have amended slightly since the Walk took place a couple of days ago. But we plan to continue.
