When I was a kid, my family and I were on vacation in the Poconos, and for an entire day, I was so sad I cried all day. Nothing could cheer me up. When we got home, we found out that one of our relatives in Germany, who I had never met, had passed away.Continue reading “Intuition”

Sadness and fear
When I encounter sadness or fear, I’m usually very mean to them. I see them as the enemy and try to squash them. Today, I’m trying something different. I’m having coffee with them, telling them how much I appreciate their roles in my life, and discussing with them how we can work together. *Did DeneenContinue reading “Sadness and fear”
Adventure
At heart, buried beneath my love of routine, is an adventurer. When I think about the times that I have felt most alive, I was heading into the unknown. Life has gotten in the way of exploration. Work. Stress. Money worries. Thus I’ve found myself wanting. The times that I’ve been the most creative haveContinue reading “Adventure”
The face of God
I love living my life in a community. I love that my community extends further than the four walls of the church, the four walls of my family’s house. I love community. Why? There is something about being connected to people that gets me all fired up. The sweet older couple who walks through RittenhouseContinue reading “The face of God”
Hannah
Lately, I have been in a Bible reading slump. I hate to admit that, but there it is, on the internet, for anyone to see. It’s not that I don’t love to dive into the Word of God and try to extract Truth. But there are times when I go through a desert time withContinue reading “Hannah”
Asian fusion
God has been building this foundation in my life…one that I have fought tooth and nail. (I don’t even know what that means…but it sounds appropriate.) Anyway. My last job in corporate America was for an Asian language publisher in Boston. Our bread and butter was textbooks teaching Mandarin. It was a difficult job, butContinue reading “Asian fusion”
I’m all in
I’m finding my rhythm with my new routine. I get up everyday at 5:37 AM. I’m on the bus by 6:35AM. I’m in the city by 7:21AM. I’m at Cosi by…you get the idea. If only I could get to sleep at a decent hour. I could probably fall asleep right now for the wholeContinue reading “I’m all in”
Oh when the Saints, go marching in
Oh when the saints, oh when the saints, oh when the saints come marching in….oh i want to be in the numbers, when the saints come marching in! As far as I’m concerned, Deuce McAllister deserves a raise. He’s my new hero…seriously. At least, after tomorrow, I won’t have to hear about the Eagles forContinue reading “Oh when the Saints, go marching in”
Favour
Today I had a great meeting with one of my contacts with the Township of Voorhees. For the record, when she retires, I want her job! I marvel at God and how He has poured out so much favor on this ministry. The township is having a picnic in June, and this woman insisted thatContinue reading “Favour”
October
I am suffering from acute ADD today, this week. I don’t know whether it is the allergies/cold, or the weather, or just life in general. Something about this week is not allowing me to concentrate. OK, I’ll stop blameshifting the responsibility. However, I do think that a little backstory wouldn’t hurt here. Back in theContinue reading “October”
