    Sometimes, grace blooms in the unlikeliest of places, springing up like a surprise lily near the end of a hot, dry summer. As I may have mentioned a time or two in this space, my so-called child-bearing years lurched to a halt at the ripe old age of 41. This transition, …

    One of my favorite mental images of my friend Kim is the picture of her arriving at my recently purchased fixer-upper house, the one that used to smell like a warehouse full of dirty gym socks. When she arrived, the smell was gone because we had ripped up all the …

Welcome

Welcome

As long as we’re here on planet Earth, God has a good purpose for us. This is true no matter how old we are, what we feel on any given day or what we imagine anyone else thinks about us.

And so I write, one pilgrim to another, in an effort to encourage us both as we navigate the long walk home together.
