December #jammed: Grace, gifted. Day 353: Blown Away. “Joseph and Mary brought Jesus up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord.” Luke 2:21 “Ding …ding …ding …” my phone chirped as photos of hurricane damage popped up on my screen. My parents had narrowly missed losing everything in Hurricane Irma, but their ‘spared’ neighbor hood was […]

December #jammed: Grace, gifted. Day 349: Turned inward too often. “Laziness lulls people into a deep sleep.” Proverbs 19:15a (VOICE) Padded feet came down the stairs in the dim light of morning …”morning cuddles momma,” my younger daughter demands. She climbs up into my lap most days and I’m happy to oblige her. Morning cuddles remind […]
December #jammed: Grace, gifted. Day 348: Rivalry. “A true friend is closer than a brother.” Proverbs 18:24 Ivy is a climbing vine. Holly is a tree or shrub. I will never hear the “Holly and the Ivy” carol the same way after bearing witness to my two oppositely gifted daughters and their unspeakably close friendship. David and […]
December #jammed: Grace, gifted. Day 347: Is it that funny? “When she speaks she has something worthwhile to say, and she always says it kindly.” Proverbs 31:25 (MSG) “WHOA” I curtly interrupted, “That wasn’t funny, honey, that was mean!” Her cackles came to an abrupt end as confusion set in.
