Everyday Miracles


She just keeps getting bigger! Smiles, coos, mighty strong fingers, and curly toes. That's my precious angel. Thank you, God, for everyday miracles.

Spiritual Enrichment Week


In addition to our selection of a new minister, we've also had the excitement of our second annual Spiritual Enrichment Week. I wanted to share this picture I took of one of our instructors from Unity Village, Rev. Paul Hasselbeck, just before he began our daily morning meditation.

To me, it affirms the Truth we speak: God and I are one. I look at this picture, and that is what I see.

Catching Up...


There's been so much happening lately around here, it seems I haven't had much time to share what's happening with my online friends! So here are the highlights, along with a few treasures I've been wanting to post now for weeks!

I begin with a peek at a young visitor we had one Friday afternoon at our church. This fawn was found just outside our kitchen door. As a new mother, my initial instinct was to bring it in and feed it. After all, it looked like it came to us on purpose!

After doing a bit of googling, I learned the mother deer often leave their young unattended, sometimes for hours at a time. So I kept going back throughout the afternoon... Yes, it was still there. Yes, there she is. Yep. Not going anywhere.

I had almost determined that I would forego my online feedback and adopt this little one as my own. (Shawn wasn't completely on board with this plan, but that did not deter me). I went out around sundown, and at long last, our little fawn had returned to her mother.

All is well in the unfolding of the universe. Sometimes I forget and I try to take control, thinking that I must DO SOMETHING so that everything will turn out ok. I am grateful for my tiny friend for reminding me. Sometimes, the only thing to do is to trust. And everything unfolds in perfect order.

Maybe a metaphor for something?? :)
