  • Heal the World

    At times when the world is dark, I just need to hear this song. Heal the World by a German School Heal the World by Kids Artists Heal the World by Connie Talbot There’s a place in your heart And I know that it is love And this place could be much Brighter than tomorrow […]

  • A Prayer Board

    My current prayer board in my home office is crowded, jammed, overflowing, packed, and crammed, but it is not filled.  Each week, I update the board and use it in my morning prayers.  Collectively praying for those who need our prayers each day matters.  And it helps me to have a visual prayer list.  Who […]

  • Sunday Musical Reflection…I come to the Garden Alone

    I come to the garden alone while the dew is still on the roses, And the voice I hear falling on my ear, The Son of God discloses And He walks with me and He talks with me, And He tells me I am his own; And the joy we share as we tarry there, […]

  • In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks…let’s take a virtual hike together this Saturday.

    Earlier this week, the National Park Service posted these virtual hiking videos….you may get a chance to visit these spots, but right now, virtual will have to do.

  • Wings

    “Your wings already exist, all you need to do is fly.”   Unknown I saw this quote recently and it really stayed with me.  During this Lenten season know that God has already given you wings.  Will our faith be strong enough by Easter so we can rise and fly? Bonny Chopey  

  • A Lenten Word

    Some say we must be tested for COVID 19 yes, but let us say also we are being tested by COVID 19 of what mettle we are, how brittle a kettle cooked chip an iron link binding us together while keeping distance do we know no, we do not yet know but moment by moment […]

  • Hope in Uncertain Times…

    As I listened to the Dr. Bos sermon this Sunday from my living room couch, I thought how befitting the theme was during this trying time: “Hope in Uncertain Times”.  He quoted Isaiah 41:10: “Fear not, for I am with you, be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will […]

  • Connecting and Keeping the Time…

    As most of us are hunkered down at home this week, I wanted to share a few ideas that may help you feel more connected, even inspire and maybe use this time for growth.  This can be a stressful time for families and for our friends.  Many of the people we care about live alone […]

  • March?

    Winter wanes into Spring. Cold. Slate to granite to Italian marble slide on feathered wings The burden an oxen would struggle to bear. Winter wanes into Spring. Cold. Spirals to about face to thrusts buffet in swirls of caress The force Thor would struggle to resist. Winter wanes into Spring. Cold. Slithers to worms to […]

  • Sunday music…Lift Every Voice and Sing
