Hiding Away
This morning, I think about the number of times David asked God to “hide” him, especially in Psalm 17 where he writes to God, “hide me in the shadow of your wings.” I love how David understands God as his hiding place, most notably in Psalm 32:7 where he states: “You are my hiding place; you will […]

This morning I read this blessing from Psalm 128: 1-2 Blessed are all who fear the Lord, who walk in obedience to him.You will eat the fruit of your labor; blessings and prosperity will be yours. I love this blessing!

For five minutes, simply squish the kale around with your hands. This breaks apart all of the tough fibers and makes the kale so tender […]
This Time Next Year
In Genesis 18, the Lord appears to Abraham to tell him something impossible. We read this: The Lord said, “I will surely return to you about this time next year, and Sarah your wife will have a son.” Sarah, of course, laughs to herself; she knows this is impossible. But the Lord insists: “Is anything […]
Cooling Off
It’s unusually hot for Pennsylvania. Thankfully, we now have air conditioning, so I’m not packing frozen water bottles around my body in bed. Thank the Lord for air conditioning! I remember the many years without it and the number of fans and various contraptions we used to cool ourselves down. I don’t love the heat. […]
