Shown Mercy

"But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ - by grace you have been saved - and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus." Ephesians 2:4-9

To blog or not to blog, that is the question...

March 20, 2017

Thankfully, my pondering is a bit lighter than that of Shakespeare's Hamlet . The last blog post I managed to put together was nearly eight months ago! Can it be? I suppose turning forty had something to do with wanting to hit the pause button, to freeze time, to be still and reflect. Alas, the days kept moving along at a pace that at times seemed too quick to remain in step. So here I sit, considering what to share, whether to continue sharing through this platform, and the possible frequency at which to share.

"We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul, a hope that enters into the inner place behind the curtain, where Jesus has gone as a forerunner on our behalf, having become a high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek."

Below is my original draft before undergoing helpful edits before final publication (which you can find here ). I commend this book to you and hope you will find my thoughts below useful to you. ******* Vulnerable: Rethinking Human Trafficking by Raleigh Sadler A BOOK REVIEW “What can I even do to help?” When confronted with the overwhelming problem of modern day slavery, this question often serves as a stumbling block for responsible engagement.

Hele on to Hawaii

July 24, 2016

This post is primarily intended for our extended family to enjoy a few glimpses from our recent trip to Oahu, Hawaii as a family. I spent four formative years of my life growing up there. Tony and I had had the privilege to visit a couple occasions years ago before children. With my 40th birthday around the corner, we saved up frequent flyer miles, hotel points, and the like in order to afford the opportunity to share this place with them. What a gift. We are grateful. Hope you enjoy.
