Turning a New Leaf
Parenthood has a way of changing how you understand love. The strength I once measured by how high I could stand is now measured by how gently I can stay. My children have taught me what my mother’s faith began — that love doesn’t always reach upward; sometimes it sends roots downward. And in that quiet turning, Christ meets me again — not in the sky, but in the soil, where breath becomes belonging.
The Trinity Within
The Trinity is not only Father, Son, and Spirit—it is also written in us as love, forgiveness, and kindness. One eternal, one fragile; one source, one echo. Together they form the shape of infinity, with Christ at the crossing where heaven and humanity meet.
Mid-Life: Crossing Instead of Crisis
This past year has been one of letting go, following sparks, facing fear, and listening for whispers. Along the way I’ve remembered faith as my compass — Grace, Presence, and Spark — and begun to see life not as poles in opposition, but as the thread in between that makes us whole.

Beyond Binary Spirit
Our spirits were never meant to be split in two. Beyond the walls of masculine and feminine lies a larger wholeness—threads of order and chaos, reason and feeling, seed and soil—waiting to be remembered.
Did Jesus Treat Money as a Heavenly Gift?
A children’s lesson on earthly and heavenly treasures sparked a question: Did Jesus ever treat money as a heavenly gift? History and scripture tell another story.
Being Human 6
Not skills. Not senses. Just six choices we make every day—three that make us more human, and three that slowly pull us away from ourselves.
The Aura of Beginning Again
Regret is memory fused with morality.
Resentment is grief with its hands still clenched.
Remorse? That’s how we begin again.
This is not a story of shame—but a quiet return to integrity.
