Moments of Love & Joy
Admission: The holidays have come and gone except for New Year’s, and with them all my good intentions of keeping focus on the Advent of Christ. I am easily distracted by the smallest details. I am also often overwhelmed by larger difficulties. Just like the new Christmas camera I’m still learning how to use, I […]
Advent Week Two: Peace?
Someone I love is struggling with addictions. Addictions that consume them more than any substance they consume. I planned to write about Advent of Peace this week, but preoccupation has interrupted peace. This blogpost is my flailing attempt to write about a peace I don’t always feel.

October Photo Re-cap: 3 Beautiful Insights
This is a photo from a couple of October’s ago..but I love it because I’m leaning on my husband Curtis. We aren’t supposed to hold people on a pedestal, to regard them as a god, but I believe we are God’s hands and feet to each other. Once, as my husband Curtis and I […]
