(Some of you may recall that I had been waiting for months to meet with an orthopedic surgeon for a hip replacement. I have so appreciated your prayers and good wishes!) I finally met with Dr. C., the orthopedic surgeon who will replace my… Continue Reading “THEN THERE ARE THESE MOMENTS…”
I like to think of the spiritual life as a flowing stream, ever progressing on a journey deeper into our true selves in God. I envision the riverbanks as God’s guidance, turning and leading me onward. My life experiences can be like springs of… Continue Reading “FROM FLOWING STREAM TO QUIET POND”
