Interdependence Day
Better than independence! Freedom is unleashed in interdependence. Cheap freedom is just me doing my own thing. Real freedom has the risk and reward of relationships. We were made for relationships - with God and others.
So yeah to others
For me AND my great country
We need all y’all!

Smoke and Meat
Eagle and She + Thunder and Lightning; good times on the porch! Tank dog likes his Daddy to vacuum his fur. Thunder remembers songs past that speak of today – the locusts are back. Let’s write a song soon; yours and mine with God.
Our families are broken
But God knows so too are we
Mercy not justice

Careless
The easiest path is NO – I don’t care! Careless is a self con that gives permission for self to rule. Careless walks away from good, hard and worth it - in the name of “my way”. Caring is hard; it sticks and stays with. Caring is willing to get hurt, over and over – and again.
Carry a heavy load?
Give it to God who hauls it all
So you can care well

Pass-down Godstory
Donna sent a story from Judy. Judy was skeptical of those who use scripture to confirm their agendas, until God dropped one in on her “get thee out of thy comfort zone”. In a pity party, Judy felt “laid aside”. Then an ugly, barren plant tended by her husband went into FULL BLOOM!
Not my time but His
I am designed for full bloom too
Patient the Gardener

Mourning Dance
“You turned my wailing into dancing”, David says about God. Who says that about me & you? What happens to the life that completely devotes their whole selves to God? They get to live under the constant loving gaze of God without dread or regret.
Unconditional yes
Risky business that may cost all
A fair deal for sure

Half Year
Micro-stories daily for 6 months – today is number 176. These little soul flashes mean little to others and a lot to me. I have lived 62 years, so 6 months is ½ of one percent of my life. God is real and potent everywhere in and beyond my life, and I see only a tiny glimpse of it. Incredible!
Tips of big icebergs
God looms huge under the sea
Be amazed in God

Life’s pain
Today my reading says life, even in suffering and temptation is a gift, and we are in the good hands of our Maker. Easy to believe when things are easy; tough when they are tough. Check the first three verses of Psalms; “I called to you for help, and you healed me.”
Dig deep to trust
Trust the Author of your life
Trust God-sent help
