Anne Morrow Lindbergh writes, “For life today in America is based on the premise of ever-widening circles of contact and communication." What would she say about life in America today? Could Anne even imagine our ever-widening circles of contact and communication?

Lost in Houston

A word of hope. It can change everything.

Elephant's Breath or Silver Song?

Waking up Disappointed

No snow in Houston. The weathermen all said expect 1” – 3”. It is cold and it did rain but it did not snow. Not being able to enjoy the snow isn’t the only thing that was disappointing this week but it is the easiest to share. When I think of disappointment or discouragement Thomas Kelly comes to mind.

Yes, disappointment is part of life but only part. It is remodeled by prayer.

A painting that speaks the truth

margaret.s.campbell@mac.com — Sun, 15 Aug 2010 18:54:00 GMT

This week I had the opportunity to participate in a painting workshop with the homeless community in Houston. All of us in one room with the same size canvas, small paints and same instructions. What we painted expressed something of our way of seeing life.

The words of songs stay with us long after we sing.

Surrounded by God's love

I am helped by Roberta Bondi's writing on God's love. She tells me that God's love is "extravagant and without limit" and reminds me that "love must be sought out and cultivated". She gives me a word picture - one that I can carry around and consider. God gives me his world and his Word and through both I recognize that I am always surrounded by God's love.

Learning to Walk

When I watch Sidney learn to walk and read Psalm 119 I see my need for God to hold my hand.

List – Making

List – making is a kind of poetry. A poetry of action verbs. Call – Confirm – Write –Find – Change – Order – Deliver . . .
