It’s Palm Sunday—the beginning of Holy Week. As I reflect on that very first Palm Sunday, I picture Jesus and His disciples entering Jerusalem during Passover. They were greeted by crowds waving palm leaves and shouting in celebration, but I can’t help but think of the scripture in John 2:24-25 “But Jesus would not entrustContinue reading “Reflections on Palm Sunday: The Power of Discernment”

The Sound of Anticipation
A Reflection on the Power of Stillness:We are taught to seek “the sound” that makes us glad to be alive—a favorite song, a loved one’s laugh, the crashing of waves. But there is a profound, overlooked vitality in the silence. For me, sitting in a room with no background noise isn’t an absence of life;Continue reading “The Sound of Anticipation”
I Won’t Apologize for the Truth: The Demonic Reality
I’m grounded in my truth, and I’m not apologizing for what I’m about to say. This isn’t a polished article. It’s a journal entry, a soul-dump, and a stand. I won’t apologize in advance for what I’m about to say, and I won’t take offense to a difference of opinion. I know who I am.Continue reading “I Won’t Apologize for the Truth: The Demonic Reality”

That shiny label promises quality, but sometimes we get just an expensive lie. This happens with people, too. In my recent experience, I got hung up on a person withContinue reading “The Shoes that Hurt: A Lesson in Boundaries”
Stay on the Trail
I wrote this in 2023 but never published it. Last year I was sitting in my vehicle waiting to meet my realtor when a small Eastern Bluebird flew onto my rear view mirror. He was so bright that he looked animated. He just sat looking at me. After being mesmerized for several minutes I reachedContinue reading “Stay on the Trail”
The Art of Unloving: Releasing What No Longer Serves You
Have you ever fallen out of love? I think we all know what it’s like to fall in love. We fall in love with people, activities, things like wine, art, vehicles, furniture, soft, fuzzy blankets, and robes, but then one day we wake up and think, “I am not in love with you anymore.” AndContinue reading “The Art of Unloving: Releasing What No Longer Serves You”
When Nobody Is Looking
Do you know the definition of integrity? The first definition of Merriam Webster’s dictionary says “firm adherence to a code of especially moral or artistic values”’. My definition is the true individual when they think nobody is looking. I have as a background picture on one of my social media accounts the words “You’d be surprised who’sContinue reading “When Nobody Is Looking”
