“shouting: “BLESSED IS THE KING WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD; Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!” Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Him, “Teacher, rebuke Your disciples.” But Jesus answered, “I tell you, if these become silent, the stones will cry out!”” Luke 19:38-40 Before me...

Lessons from a Failed Marriage
Twenty seven years ago today I said “I do.” . Despite having spent most of three years with him, I had spent the four months prior to “I do” running from that relationship. Broken, I was young and honestly jumped into the marriage. It might have been the worst and best decision of my life.... Continue Reading →
Past Where We Are
Today we went and explored the Three Sister volcanos in Albuquerque. We took the scenic route home. It is amazing to me how much the scenery can change in thirty miles. It is easy to forget that there are so many different terrains to see - deserts, mesas, valleys, mountains, the river, volcanos. Some untouched... Continue Reading →
In the Middle of the Process
Yesterday I did something I have never really done. I moved dirt for my husband. He was working to cave in a hole he had been digging to make it safer for him to dig farther back. I am not a manual labor kind of girl, but I enjoyed it for a while. My tools... Continue Reading →
Streams in the Desert
I see this each time we take a drive down I25. A long patch of green in the middle of the desert. I recognize it as the path where the Rio Grande runs. It is not trees like I am used to, but there is vegetation close to the source of water, or where water... Continue Reading →
Characteristics of God
He only is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be shaken. Psalm 62:6 I think about these words used in the passage to describe the characteristics of God. Rock, salvation, fortress. These are pretty descriptive words. We were walking this weekend, I preferred climbing with the help of the rocks rather than... Continue Reading →
Plans
Lately I feel like every plan I make, fails. I made plans for my birthday, they fail through. My husband tried to find something else, but I had my heart set on my original plans. I rescheduled those plans, and then cancelled out other plans I had made with a friend because the availability fell... Continue Reading →
Sign to Nowhere
We were driving down the road, and I saw this street sign, without a street. There was a barbed wire fence, and no access easement at all. It was just a weird thing, and there were a couple of these along the road we were traveling. Why would there be a street sign on a... Continue Reading →
Walk in the River
I grew up around a lake, not a river. I spent most of my childhood at the lake, jumping off the cliffs or just walking straight into the water. What we are familiar with shapes our understanding of the Bible; we can not picture what we don't know. Tonight as I was in Bible Study... Continue Reading →
His Presence Preached
Jesus said to them, “Come and have breakfast.” Now none of the disciples dared ask him, “Who are you?” They knew it was the Lord. John 21:12 This was the scripture in the devotion I'm reading by Bob Goff called Live in Grace Walk in Love. It really hit me as Mr Goff pointed out that Jesus didn't meet... Continue Reading →
