Young boys should never be sent to bed... they always wake up a day older. J.M. Barrie in Finding Neverland With fairy steps I stealth into his room and slip under layers of covers to envelop his body. We're spoons. He's a cozy oven and though barely awake he senses my presence and rolls...
I miss you, Robin Dance who makes all the world spin in this happy twirl!
I miss your voice with it's wisdom, I miss your laugh with it's sparkle... I miss your driving with it's hold-on-to-your-seat-because-I-really-am-going-to-get-you-there finesse!
You are a wonder -- a woman with a great deal of depth and thoughtfulness and all Jesus. I think you and He could just about do anything.
I send more love than these words can hold, Robin...

twirly transformations
My closet got a good and proper clean-out last weekend. As always, a few things made their way for donation, some things became cleaning rags, others were cut up for the fabric to use later, and this small little pile above was set aside for instant transformation...of the twirly girly kind. ...

Worn Out from Wearing the Collar
A recent blog post by Philip Wagner on "The Secret Pain of Pastors" has created some good--and really necessary--conversation about the challenge of pastoral leadership today. I'll add my two cents with a few re-posts of blogs I wrote after the NY Times ran a similar article in 2010. These po...

Beautiful Elizabeth...
I pray we can see each other's tears and hear each other's hearts and together we may be our Father's daughters... the grace-bathed ones made strong in weakness and one in love.

You are loved...

I tried several times to talk about Hillary McFarland's book without weeping. Could.Not.Do.It. I thought about editing out my tears, make this a nice, pretty little video. But you know what? I didn't. I didn't because what is happening inside "biblical patriarchy" is nothing short of tragic. We ...

Any man who does dog poop.... oh, and the garbage... oh, and those kids-with-growing-pains-who-need-a-hot-bath-in-the-middle-of-the-night... yes, those kind of men... they really do need medals!
Or maybe...our prayers -- respect -- love.
Gracefully, eloquently... you've just shown me how. Beautiful!
Thank you.
And, Shannon? Any word you choose to tap out in this space?
I count it pure grace and you always bless and God's given you a gift. A gift always remains a gift-- waiting to be given.
Thank you for the generous, life-giving, fearless, *brilliant* giving of your gift in this place, Shannon. It is no small matter.
You are a radiant light on a hill.
Shine on, sister... shine on!
Holding you in the highest (happiest!) esteem....
