Can Letting Him Go Be God’s Best?
Morning friend, Thanks for sharing your thoughts about the Kingdom of God. Here are some things I’ve been pondering. As I discern, I see the Kingdom of God consisting of unconditional love, truth, beauty, and justice. Like fireflies of warm summer nights, these elements shine heavenly light in dark places. Like a little yeast that permeates the whole loaf. Or…
How Do You Balance Mercy With Strong Boundaries?
Morning friends, I’ve been pondering a spiritual term I’d love to hear your thoughts on. As you read the Scriptures, how would you define the kingdom of God?

Is It Wrong to Be Compassionate Towards Your Own Self?
Morning friend, I am on a cruise in Alaska speaking for the American Association of Christian Counselors. This Arizona girl hates the cold, but this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity so I bought some of those little foot and hand warmer packets and I will activate them to keep warm. I’ll send a picture for next week’s blog. Questions: I love…

Discernment vs. Indifference: Understanding Your Heart in Relationships
Hello Friends, As the summer months unfold, I find myself reflecting on the beauty and freedom this season brings. There’s a special joy in watching my grandchildren celebrate the end of the school year, their laughter and excitement filling the air with a sense of unbridled possibility. This sense of freedom, the ability to simply ‘be,’ is something I long…
