HOW IS GOD LOVING ME – AND WHERE IS GOD LEADING ME?
(Today I had the privilege of sharing a sermon message at St. John UMC. I offer the message to you now as a reflection for the new year.) In recent years, these last few days of the year have become treasured times for me. We… Continue Reading “Let God’s Love Be Conspicuous…”
I dropped a tissue on my walk the other day. (Exciting news, right??) As usual, noticing the dropped tissue began my new contemplation… 🙂 Often on my daily walks I will pick up trash along the way. I figure that even if I only… Continue Reading “Those “Unknown” Sins”
