Just me trying to be honest with God.

Pilgrims Progress depicts sins like a burden on the back weighting the soul down in guilt, fear and misery. It is this burden that Jesus offers to take from us. Some of the most beautiful words in the Scriptures offer this encouragement, “But there is forgiveness with You.” Blessed is He!

"Sometimes, you just have to rise above the situation and enjoy the view."

I am so grateful for drone footage put to music. It is the magical way I begin each day. Someone has called it aerial poetry. What a gift to float above the earth and be transported to places all over the world. I feel privileged to have lived long enough to fly over forests and fields, mountains and glacier lakes. 

“The LORD looks down from heaven and sees all mankind, watching all who live on earth and considering everything they do.” Ps.33 Conversations Within” ts 5/8/26



"Every season is one of becoming, but not always one of blooming. Be gracious with your ever-evolving self." B. Oakman

 Much of life unfolds in stages. The hike to the summit may mean that we first traverse a lowland swamp. Learning to navigate each stage may be more important than the destination we have in mind. Find God's peace and wisdom as you experience today.

“By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going.”Heb.11 Conversations Within” ts 5/7/26





“Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it. Helen Keller

The wisdom that can be found in affliction mirrors the wisdom of God designing life to unfold this way. The lessons learned, and character built teaches me the value of appreciating times of hardship as much as seasons of ease--maybe more so.

“It was good for me to be afflicted so that I might learn your decrees.” Ps.119 Conversations Within” ts 5/6/26



Bring it down to right here, right now.

I can only live one moment at a time. My best life is realized, not in my past or future, but in the choice before me now. Be this moment. Give yourself fully to it. If it is my last, in this place, I want to make sure I am satisfied with it? 

“Be where you are. Whatever your hand find to do, do it with all of your might.” ” Ecc.9 Conversations Within” ts 5/5/26
