Fragments

Fragments of divided hearts scatter. In the winds of social media. 

Bits and pieces of pride. Rebellion. Hate. Anger. 

And the very avenues that can draw people together, turn and twist. Break trust. Splinter relationships. 

Slander and gossip crowd in.

Calculated deception. 

Articulated for the very purpose of division and destruction.

Memoir

menopaused 2

As promised last year. I offer writings from the menopaused years. Heart cries penned in the margins. 

The titles are telling: Wait. Stillness. Hope. Broken. Challenge. Winter. Rhythm.

For those currently traveling through this particular season of life, take heart. Nothing can separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 8:37-39).

Rhythm and order

Rhythm and order. Discipline. With a pattern specifically laid out for God’s people in the Old Testament.

Daily. Weekly. Monthly. Annually. 

With sacrifices. Sacred assemblies. Festivals. 

Divinely-designed schedules. Reminding them to remember. And honor the Lord their God. 

As a people set apart for His glory.
