Today, I was hit with a serious case of process fatigue. I didn’t have the energy to sort things out or use my usual toolkit of requests; So, during my morning walk, I asked the Lord to just take care of me and I talked to Him about where I was. And a funny thing… Read More »

View from My Place – “Divine Therapy”
When we were kids, some of our personality traits were celebrated, while others were either ignored or even punished.

“Let all that you do be done in love” (1 Corinthians 16:14). This instruction isn’t just a lofty ideal; it’s a practical compass for daily living. But life is messy, and what’s loving isn’t always obvious or pleasant. So, we won’t always make the “right” choice, but we can be consoled that this instruction isn’t… Read More »
The View from My Place – “Hidden Agenda”
My phone rang this morning, and a relative was calling to express dismay about the election results last night. She said, “I’m calling you because I just need some encouragement. I woke up this morning and I said, ‘God, WHY? This man who has been elected is everything You hate. It just feels like evil… Read More »
