The created . . . again

I wonder what it was like at the beginning—you know when God formed Adam into a man, and breathed life into him. Can you

imagine watching God create? “The

Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his

nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.”…

When you become the Prodigal

What did you see?

“I saw a man in a great red cloak tenderly touching the shoulders of a disheveled boy kneeling before him. I could not take my eyes away. I felt drawn between the intimacy between the two figures, the warm red of the man’s cloak, the golden yellow of the boy’s tunic, and the

mysterious light engulfing them both. But,…

Good Day~


Last week, as I was writing about Paul's words that "Christ's love compels us"--I began realizing some things about myself, and my own relationship with the Lord. I picked a book

off my shelf, The Return of the Prodigal Son by Henri Nouwen, and began reading it as collaborative material to expound on God's great love for us.


I came to the realization that has somewhat…

You are an ambassador. 2 Corinthians 5.11-15

A couple days ago, I was in a conversation with one of my Long Beach friends, who we affectionately call ‘Vodka Steve’, though he is just

about to enter a rehab program—thank goodness! (Intelligent

and gifted, Steve was a long-time sales executive for Dupont, though

first drugs and then alcohol have almost destroyed his life. With the help of a counselor from the Village, and clinging to his…

Faith, Full of Faith, and the Faithful.

What makes having faith such a challenge? I fear that sometimes it is the ‘faithful’. I was painfully reminded of this again today.

Invited into a desperate situation, I went to pray for the healing of a Christian woman stricken with brain cancer. A large, loving…

Good Day.

Yesterday marked our second prayer meeting at our new Long Beach location—the Sanctuary. It was a delight to have a few more folk with us, but more than that—God was in that place. It was a sweet time.

I started our time with this new song by Daniel Doss:…

Discouragement, be gone! 2 Corinthians 4.8-9

I am not fixated on discouragement, but sooner or later, everyone of us will face it. In fact, I am convinced that it is one primary way that the devil seeks to

get us off balance, and tear us down. Paul

gives us insight into his discouragement—both explanation and hope. Take

a look:…

TREASURE IN JARS. 2 Corinthians 4.7

When I was a little girl, I loved the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland; for me, it had it all. A little bit of thrill, a lot of action, boat ride, and hey, it ended

with beautiful jewelry and treasure spread out on the sand—everything

that would bring a sparkle to a little girl’s…

A Season of Change: Long Beach - 2 Corinthians 4.1-6

This last Tuesday, I made the move to the Sanctuary. It is only about a block away from the Friends’ Church, the site of the prayer

meeting
with the Long Beach street people that I have led the

last six months, but . . . it was a big change. Moments

were inspiring and God-filled, others…
