Sharing Your Story: Adding Harmony to Faith

Our family visited the city for a candlelight concert a few days before Christmas. We had a wonderful time listening to a string quartet play many familiar holiday songs by candlelight!

Experiencing Peace: From Snowflakes to Spirituality

We only had to wait a few days after my last post for a good snowfall! The peace of a snowy morning always amazes me. The spaces between the snow crystals absorb sound, muting the regular noises of the neighborhood.

Hope’s Aim

It has been a year and two days since I last wrote a blog post, but that doesn’t mean I’ve fallen off the face of the earth! Life has been full of changes, including a good deal of reading and writing for my master’s program. This month falls between semesters, so I’d like to visit with you a few times over the next several weeks.

Eyes on the Skies

I love watching the sky during my commutes throughout the week. Every day provides a different scene with clouds carried along by invisible air currents. Even on clear, cloudless days the sky contains different hues of blue.

Come into the Light!

I’ve always been drawn to these streams of light.

Merciful Savior

As Christmas celebrations wind up all around us, perhaps we can pause to think about what was going on in the time before Jesus arrived in the stable in Bethlehem.
