The Spirituality of Children has always been near and dear to my heart. As I continue to mature in my own spirituality, my love for children and their spirituality grows even more. I am a witness to my own spirituality and fortunate to sit with others as they journey back to retell their spiritual journey.…

Today, it bloomed
This… Is… Absolutely… Beautiful! Today, my last lily bloomed. The one I’ve been waiting on. It’s gorgeous. This garden was created during my Sabbatical. I am amazed to look back over the last year to see how much has changed, how much has grown, and how much beauty has been brought forth because of that…

Spring is coming
This may be the first year I feel pulled between two seasons. Winter is my least favorite season. I love the fireplace, the snow (when we do get it in the south), and the fresh crisp air, but I tend to get restless waiting for spring. This year, I can actually feel (in my body)…

I have thought of family and friends…

Contemplative Youth Ministry

Trust
TRUST…now that is a loaded word. I have looked at the act of trusting as something that is 100% or 0%, but when I look closer there seems to be more to the act of trust than all or nothing. I would guess I’m not the only one who struggles with this word that many use…
