Congratulations to my friends!

Birth...
A wonder...
A miracle...
Such promise and hope.

It leads me to wonder...

What is it that God is conceiving...
Even birthing...
In and through us...
Yes even us...
Today? 

What dreams...
What desires...
What yearnings...


What has God Himself conceived in us...
That through much labor...
We might bring into this world?

How will the very Life of Christ Himself will be...
Conceived...
Maybe even birthed...

Through us this very day?
 

Will it be...
Love
Goodness
Courage
Joy
Mercy
Peace
Kindness......

I wonder........



Father in Heaven,
We pray that today the very Life of Christ
 That You have conceived in us
by Your Holy Spirit
is given birth....
Through us.
Amen

"Flesh gives birth to flesh, 
But 
Spirit gives birth to spirit."

Hello Friends.... I'm Back......At least for Today


Today...
I love that word...
I love today...
I love the hope of a fresh start...
I love knowing that whatever I regret from yesterday...
Well... its over...
It's done with...

Oh I know... 
I still have to live with some of the garbage of yesterday.

The scales condemned me this morning...
For the chocolate cake from yesterday...

But still...
Today is a new day...
I can do better...
More than that...


I can be better.

In this moment...
Right now...
Today...
I can...
Choose Life.

Hebrews 3:13
But encourage one another daily, 
as long as it is called “Today,” 
so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness. 

Heavenly Father
Thank You for today.
Thank You for the hope for being better.
Thank You for Love and Life
In this moment
Today.
   Amen
