Through the Lens of Faith

I love the reflection of the water in this photo. It looks deceiving. There is nothing below the water and only the ceiling really has the stalagmites and stalactites. When we interact with others we are a reflection of ourselves and those with whom we interact. It is important to always consider the beauty in…

The seas can seem rough. It can be so tempting to stay safely tied to the harbor. A quote attributed to Albert Einstein urges the opposite: “A ship is always safe in a harbor but that is not what it’s built for.” Are you brave enough spiritually to stay in the waters even when they…

One of the things that strikes me about looking in gardens is how unique each flower is among the many. There could be an entire garden of daffodils or irises. Yet even among the same type of flower, they are different. The same thing applies to us in the garden of God. We are each…

August is just about half over. The year seems to be going so fast. I was always told growing up that the older you get the faster it goes. I’m beginning to believe it. The quickness of time, though, is making me consider how to address my faith life in a more urgent manner. Sometimes…

It is going to be a new month tomorrow. It blows me away how fast this year is going. It seems like only yesterday I was wondering which of my new year resolutions would make it through the year — not a one! But a new month means a chance to pause for a moment…

It is so easy to get caught up in our daily things to do, in wondering who will pick up the kids or the dry cleaning. There are bills to be paid and cars to be maintained. There are so many things on our plate that it is hard to even consider spending time with…

Isn’t it wonderful that we don’t have to stay down? Life can kick us down, it can beat us up, but God will give us the grace to keep moving upward. It can seem like we’re down for the count in our day-to-day lives and even in our spiritual lives. Perhaps this week you can…
