God spoke light into existence, as the Spirit moved over a darkened orb in the genesis of all things.

Miracle Walk
My daily walk provides me with not only exercise but a way to clear my head, think through decisions and even compose poetry. Traveling the same route every day also allows my hypervigilance a bit of a rest. During my recent walks I have been more mindful of my own walking with Jesus as I learn a walk of deeper…

The Final Hours
As autumn ushers another year nearer its final hours, I marvel at the seasonal similarities to our own life cycle. Perhaps God intended the seasons would speak a timeless truth to us year after year. Though the calendar year claims a January first birth, the astronomical calendar gives a more accurate representation of the life cycle of a year. Born…

September Space
Something about the September space between the end of August and the autumnal equinox of September 20th, speaks of slowing down. This liminal space begs us to take a few moments and look about us, taking stock of our surroundings. An invitation to new sight of sorts. For many, as soon as the calendar flips to September, they rush into…
