Through the Lens of Faith

Have you ever stopped to consider how many miles you have traveled? How many bridges you have crossed or how many obstacles you have met and overcome? It’s hard to consider how much things have changed in our lives. Even looking back over a year can show you just how far we have come. And…

Some days it just feels right to take flight. The air is warm and the breeze is tender. We may want to take flight for the pure joy of feeling free. There’s nothing like the feeling of being unattached and unencumbered. We may want to take flight, however, when things are weighing us down here…

It’s time we stand up straight.  I’m not talking about physically, though it is always a good idea to strive for perfect posture! We need to stand up straight against forces that try to knock us down. We can stand tall with our faith providing us support and lean on others when we need a…

Seeing the greenery around me either in the city or when I get the opportunity to drive to a beautiful place gives me hope. There is always new life springing forth, be it buds on a tree or flowers growing. I used to be one that preferred the Fall. I love the colors and the hints…

It is so disheartening to be surrounded by such challenges to peace. Violence is everywhere, as seen with an incident in Manchester, United Kingdom. Going to enjoy music can be a dangerous thing. It’s hard to understand why people do what they do. We are all born with goodness in our hearts. Somewhere along the…

Do you ever feel like you’ve hit an impasse or a brick wall in your faith life?  Does everything feel like the same old, same old? Sometimes things can get stale in our faith life. We can become too set in our ways. We might find ourselves frustrated by this and feel like we are not…
