~ Seeds You Won’t See Grow ~
15.September.2026 Some of the hardest seeds to plant are the ones for the people closest to you. I once poured into a friendship for years, showing up in an emergency or a pinch, offering meals, offering my time, in ways that were not always returned the same way back. Gifts, gestures, the practical things, those…

~Clearing the Clutter – Part 3~
14.September.2026 There is a difference between decluttering and surrendering. One rearranges what you own. The other loosens your grip on it. I have picked up items lately that I remembered clearly, where I got them, what they meant, even the moment I packed them away. That was never the problem. The problem was I had…

~Rosh Hashanah Embraced~
13.September.2026 I told you Friday I was attending something I had never experienced before. I want to tell you honestly, it exceeded what I had imagined. The Hebrew liturgy was spoken throughout, met again and again with a chorus of Amen’s from the congregation. It was clear I was standing inside something feeling ancient, something…

~Waiting for the Trumpet~
12.September.2026I am writing this on September 11, ahead of tonight, even though it’s scheduled to post early tomorrow morning. Tonight I get to experience something I have never experienced before, a true Rosh Hashanah service, at a Messianic congregation that recognizes Jesus as the promised Messiah. I am coming at this from that perspective, aware…

~Clearing the Clutter – Part 2~
11.September.2026 As this post publishes on the 25th anniversary of September 11, I want to pause and acknowledge those still carrying that loss, whether it was a person taken that day or a peace that was never quite restored. Moving forward. Clearing physical clutter is one thing. Clearing the emotional and mental version is another…

~Clearing the Clutter~
10.September.2026 Anyone who has moved knows the moment. You open a closet you haven’t touched in years and realize how much you’ve been carrying that you didn’t even remember was there. Clothes that no longer fit, boxes never unpacked from the last move, things kept simply because getting rid of them felt harder than keeping…

~Three, Yet One~
09.September.2026 Three weeks, three Persons, and yet all along we’ve been talking about one God. Not three gods sharing a name, not three roles one Being rotates through, but Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, distinct, and inseparable. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy…

~He Intercedes for You~
08.September.2026 We close this week the way we opened it, with a Person, not a force, not an object, not some vague spiritual energy floating above us. The Holy Spirit intercedes for you, personally, in the moments you don’t even have words for. Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what…

~He Produces Fruit in You~
08.September.2026 Before fruit can grow, a seed has to be planted. Nothing about this happens automatically. There’s a beginning place, a moment someone plants a seed in us. Once it’s in the ground, it has to be tended, watered, given attention, before roots ever start to form. And it’s only after those roots go deep…

~He Empowers You~
07.September.2026 You weren’t meant to run on your own fuel. Every assignment He’s given you comes with His power to actually carry it out. But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria,…
