GOD’S AUTHORITY, NOT MINE
Let us cherish our relationship with God by resisting worldly distractions & give in to His dreams for us, His mercy, His promise of eternal life.

ONE DAY AT A TIME
It takes patience, perseverance, and prayer to stay on the right track and remember what this season is about amidst the hubbub of a large family.
STAR LIGHT, STAR BRIGHT
How we allow the light of God's love to shine through will give greater radiance and meaning to our life and the lives of those around us.
THE GOD OF HISTORY
Advent & Christmas aren’t celebrations of nice ideas, but rather special moments to be grounded in the real, historical truth of God’s love for us.
BEING CLAIMED AS GOD’S BELOVED
In the midst of all the learning, unknowns, worries, and excitement, Jesus invites me to claim my identity in God.
AN EPIPHANY: FEAR AND AWE, ALWAYS JOY
This is the Epiphany - an overwhelming joy at the encounter of Emmanuel, “God among us,” even in the midst of challenges such as fear.
CONNECTION FROM DISCONNECTION
What a wonderful paradox – that God can create connection from disconnection and life from death.
BEING PERFECT IS OVERRATED
Even as I face my perfectionism and stumble at times, God will not stop calling for me.
THOSE WHO LIE IN UNMARKED GRAVES
Our faith tells us that God knows each one of us, wholly and personally.
COMING TO KNOW GRACE
In Mary we come to know that maybe Grace has always been there, actively present, just like Jesus, here with us.
A FAMILY, HOLY AND HUMAN
Jesus, Mary and Joseph were holy, but holy and perfect are not the same.
WHAT CHRISTMAS IS THIS?
Perhaps we doubt, despair, are afraid, or don’t understand. That's okay. If that’s where we are, then that's where our loving God comes to be with us.
DEAR SANTA, TAKE ME WITH YOU
The most important visitor we await doesn’t just want to sneak into our homes for a moment, but to come and live in our hearts.
SIGNS
When we share honestly with the Lord, our doubts can be transformed and we can grow in humble acceptance.
FACE-TIME
Even though I might not know how to exactly help and struggle with finding the right words I know I must persist.
WAITING FOR CLARITY
Though there's uncertainty and “blindness” about what the future holds, in the liminal spaces I try to recall past promises God has fulfilled.
A TIME OF AWAKENING
We may “not know when the time will come”, but that doesn’t need to cause crippling anxiety. God’s gentle voice is already within us & among us.
BELOVED CHILDREN, LIVING ICONS
We forget to look on each other with reverence, knowing that we are all living icons.
I SEE YOU
Honest and vulnerable sharing of our genuine desires, and compassionate listening of one another, allows us to be "seen" by God.
BE HELD IN GOD’S LIGHT
There is no need for us to feel that we have to hold it together, when there is One who offers to hold us Himself; hold us up to the light…His light.
