If you have followed the story behind Knee Deep; A 9-month Whirlpool of Handwritten Letters to the Creator, you’ll know this is my most courageous work to publish. I included a Knee Deep excerpt in May and was somewhat relieved when I found out that instead of the anticipated May release, Knee Deep will be…
I’ve written FROG Blogs as lessons from a lily pad image. Yesterday I discovered literal frogs. I walked a lake trail to a tranquil spot to write. I stopped at a sitting space that turned out to be different than my anticipated quiet. I became aware of a loud siren that sounded like an ambulance….
“Don’t even go into the village.” Jesus spoke this after he restored a blind man’s sight. The gospel writer Mark doesn’t indicate how this man responded to Jesus’s instruction. Did the man stay out of the village? Did he tell his closest friends? I try to imagine being healed from blindness and my view was…
Knee Deep: A 9-Month Whirlpool of Letters to the Creator will publish this month! In the book, I write a disclaimer about these handwritten letters to my Creator being freely written. The words flow without Grammerly focus or edit. Sometimes these letters are a few sentences, sometimes they’re short rambles. All letters are authentic, told…

Effort+ Faith Faith + Goodness Goodness+ Knowledge Knowledge+ Self-Control Self-Control+ Godliness Godliness+ Mutual Affection Love Love Love Love Love Love God calls me to calculate everything with love.

When face masks became popular, I needed to adjust to socially expected regulations. I recognized I must pay closer attention to details. There are two grocery store cashiers who’ve become my bi-weekly friends. In the pre-mask era, I could distinguish between these two cashiers and greet each lady by name. With their noses, mouths and…
Beaten. Shamed. Killed. Seven lives fallen into the hands of abusers. Mark writes about a vineyard owner who hires farmhands to tend his grapes. When harvest time arrives, this winepress CEO sends a servant to collect fruit. The farmers beat his innocent employee. The owner then contracted five other servants to gather harvest. The farmhands…
“See what large letters I use as I write to you with my own hand!” (Gal. 6:11). I found biblical proof that Paul used capitalization and large fonts when he wrote to the Galatians in 6:11: “See what large letters I use as I write to you with my own hand!” In our modern world,…
