The best part about living surrounded by undisturbed forests is the animals that come to visit. Raccoons are one of my favorites. I could watch and interact with them for hours. It is a kind of solitude for me that calms my soul, grounds my thoughts, and nourishes my curious heart. It is spiritual. Jesus […]
When we can go through each day with the joy of Christ at the forefront of every encounter, every circumstance, every word, and every action, we end the day in peace. It is when we allow minor infractions to irritate, sour attitudes to aggravate, or one delay after another to interfere with how we have
The strength of God can carry us through whatever we labor with in life. If we rely on His Way, Wisdom, and Word, our automatic go-to is to keep our eyes on Holy and uplift everyone we come in contact with each day. If we rely solely on ourselves, we quickly give out, and God’s
In all that you do in life, make it purposeful in helping others, the earth, and give all the glory to God. Thank you, farmers, growers, healers, earth carers, and all who labor to sustain life.

God speaks to us in many ways, but especially through His creation. Never dismiss a slightly odd occurrence, a bird very close, a deer watching, or the wind in the garden for you may miss a Holy blessing. The blessings of God are not just found on the pages of a book. He seeks to
Just as He promised, Jesus gives believers the gift of the Holy Spirit within. It is the River of Life. When we believe it, nurture it, listen to it, and follow the God Spirit flow, life becomes deeply meaningful. It becomes so much more than surviving.
