Someone was watching her. She could feel it. This invisible companion. This presence in the room.  It didn’t bring discomfort.  It just kind of unsettled her.    What would she do with it? Should she address it?  Or keep ignoring it? Sometimes it tugged on her heartstrings with a wooing hunger she didn’t know where it came from, like a ...

We live in a peculiar time when we are more connected than ever electronically, but also more lonely than ever. News travels faster than lightning. There is so much noise and a constant bombardment of information. We are constantly pulled to the surface and our biggest struggle is to find a quiet place where we can unplug and listen to ...

As a dog person I’ve somewhat learned to “speak dog”. At least I can read my own dogs pretty well and tell when they’re uncomfortable or they’re getting ready to react to something (suspicious objects like umbrellas, strollers or a man in a baseball hat, or a leaf rustling in the wind).

In Africa they see time, not as going or leaving us, but as coming towards us. I thought this was very interesting and it seems like a healthier view. It can be frustrating for ...

I saw a bumper sticker once that left me uneasy and sort of sad. It awakened me to the skewed view many people have of God and Christianity. It said: “Don’t make me come down there – God”. Sadly, this might be a view of God that even some believers hold subconsciously – that God is like a grumpy, old ...
