Awakened from a short night's sleep by a massive branch falling from an ancient live oak, with work boots and leather gloves on, the chainsaw's roar pierced the silence of the still sleeping world.
Amidst the raucous rattle, I found a certain peace in my soul. All the noise that once seemed so important faded into the background of the task at hand. As the chainsaw paused, I found myself in a moment reminiscent of Genesis, hearing ...

I had the honor of being part of two weddings. One wedding, a handful of family in a backyard garden space, simple and easy-flowing, with a home-cooked meal on mismatched family china. The other, a church full of family and friends, more structured, rules and traditions, with a catered dinner and dance, both sweet and very special.
Jesus attended a wedding in Cana, not as the focal point, but as a guest. He took jars of water, bles...

Engulfed by the dawn's splendor, the weaving tale of my morning unfolds. With every burst of color and every breath of the morning air, I felt God's divine creation being revealed in its glory. I craved to capture the beautiful spectacle, but this moment, crafted specially for me, was for my heart to etch and nurture.
Even the finest artist fails to frame the true grandeur of nature, and here I was, lost in admiring the pinks and b...
In this episode, we are reminded of the perseverance necessary in every stage of life, from raising a newborn to caring for aging parents. "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up." - Galatians 6:9. Sentiments of weary days and sleepless nights make it more than evident how the thought of yielding can be tempting.
These are the days when the strength in faith really ...
Art may imitate life or vice versa, but for me, it is most important that life imitates not only art, but heart, God’s heart. As long as that remains true, all else will fall into place.
When your battery is drained, it takes friends to push the truck, pop the clutch and get it going. Our lives are the same.
On a recent flight, I found it was more a journey of the soul than just of geographical space.
A front-end loader’s bucket has length, width, and depth. Add in a little math with curves and angles, and you find a volume, and that’s what it holds. It can only move so many loads in a day, and that’s all. Who are we to think we should do more?
Fishin's was not always about catchin' fish. There is beauty in a properly tied lure or baiting a hook, to sit still and be quiet as “to not scare the fish away.”
In the presence of a miracle, why am I drawn toward the trouble that lies beyond its shadow? The question itself reveals the answer - “lies”.
There is value in sinking your fingers in the dirt and making things grow.
Value is based on Perspective.

The window was broken, but the Lord repaired the broken pieces.
This story is an excerpt from my latest book Strings Interwoven.
Simeon didn't know when he saw Jesus as a child that He was the Messiah, until he did. John the Baptist did not know Jesus was the Lamb of God, until he did. We sometimes do not know Jesus walks beside us, until our eyes are opened, and we see what we didn't know, until we did.
I wonder what Joseph felt as he watched Jesus grow and become less of his little boy and more of what God had called him to be. Our daughter's life took an unexpected turn, and she hung up her basketball sneakers and found her love of music again. It was then it hit me. This child was ours only for a little while but was quickly becoming her own, the masterpiece God had made her to be. He has always put her in the right place at t...
Music is prayer, my worship without words and I invite others into that sacred space. But I found my need to lead overshadowed my need to follow.
I found myself “Knee Deep” on what was not my best day. Responsibility weighed heavy and greasing every squeaky wheel had me running faster than my angel could fly, as my mother would say. Unfortunately, a "humbling" occurs when I rely too much on my own footing.
