O Come, All Ye Faithful is one of my favorite Christmas hymns. The repeated refrain "O come let us adore Him" feels like it draws me closer and closer with each phrase. However, the first line struck me as odd when I heard it for the first time this season: "O come, all ye faithful,… Continue reading O Come, Ye Unfaithful, Despairing, and Defeated

LAUGH!
I wake up one morning and lay there in bed a while. I had been working for 6 months or so to get the iron levels in my body back up to normal and now, most days, I didn’t even notice it any more. But this day, I noticed; there is still a ways to… Continue reading LAUGH!
A week of joy… {wonder-full wanderings}
Week 3 of advent complete and we're heading in to the final stretch. Anticipation building on this last day of only lighting 3 candles on the advent wreath. This week we got to add the joy candle. It's probably my favorite! The pink standing out against the purple. Bright against darkness. To be honest I've… Continue reading A week of joy… {wonder-full wanderings}
A week of Peace {wonder-ful wanderings}

In fact, I may or may not… Continue reading A week of Peace {wonder-ful wanderings}

Blog after blog, Facebook post after Facebook post talk of this busy time of year for… Continue reading Ladder-Climbers {wonder-full wanderings}
A Week of Hope {wonder-full wanderings}
Week one of the beautiful advent season... One candle lit on the advent wreath... The hope candle. The flame dances small but mighty both on the wreath and in our souls. I don't believe it's coincidence that everywhere I turn it seems the 'word of the week' appears. All through the pages of God's… Continue reading A Week of Hope {wonder-full wanderings}
{wonder-full wanderings} at UB
This semester I have seen God do amazing things through the time I have spent at the University at Buffalo campus. Also true: This semester not many things have gone as planned in our work at UB. "Wandering" feels like a pretty applicable word in trying to figure out where God is calling us, specifically… Continue reading {wonder-full wanderings} at UB
