Is it wrong for me to think I can reflect God? Humans aren’t perfectly holy, all-present, or all-knowing. Don’t worry! I don’t propose that we can reflect those kinds of attributes, but if we are in Christ we are enabled and called by God to image other attributes of Himself; the ones He calls His […]
I’ve been absent from my blog and social media for most of the summer as I’ve been rehabbing a house, moving my family, and dealing with some heavy emotional stuff. When I told my friend, Kelly Balarie, that I’d support her book launch, I had no idea how much I’d be helped by the book […]
I walked into my husband’s office to look through every single shelf seeking a book title that might touch my heart. My husband has two offices, each with walls covered with books. To be married to a man who loves books as much as I do is a dream come true. His books are organized […]
Long walks and bike rides have been P.E. at the Jung Homeschool this week. Warm days and new spring life sprouting up and down the sidewalks from our house to the downtown riverfront call us outdoors. We respond with a passion, a camera, bikes and a scooter. I remember why spring is my favorite season. […]
It’s been a lazy summer. Delightful, easy, carefree and…I don’t want it to end! With a light schedule and easy days, there has been less temptation toward frustration in the home. I guess that is why I wasn’t prepared for it. I became frustrated and angered very quickly at a situation with […]
I love this picture. The dying stalks lifting up frail heads to seemingly worship. The sun casting its transforming rays through and beautifying them. Without the sun and with a different perspective, this picture would have turned out so much different. It was actually taken at a cemetery. The nearby tombstones were not caught but the light […]
Does anyone else out there have a flighty brain? Do you feel that it is on the run and you can hardly catch it…for me…sometimes I can hardly find it! The apostle Paul says, “Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then […]
I find it hard to write on Tuesdays…there is less time because every Tuesday I do something special. I talk to a dear friend and we discuss what God is doing in lives and then we pray. We’ve been doing this for about a year now and I am finding that every Tuesday I come away […]

We weave thick vines in and out of and around our circular, amateur base to create a decorative ball. Soon, solar lights will be added to make it a visible yard ornament for the dark fall and winter nights that stretch ahead of us. It seems to be an illustration of our friendship. By now, […]
Do you ever feel ashamed or disappointed that you have lacked faith or confidence in God…or even doubted Him? Our doubts, lack of trust, or weak faith may tempt us to think our faith isn’t strong enough. Let’s look at some scripture passages that might encourage us – even if our faith feels small today. […]
