Photo Credit: Will Wilson I grew up in South Florida and water was an enormous presence in our world. We went to the beach. We went deep sea fishing. We sat on the inlet walls fishing for sheep-head. We had picnic suppers at the end of hot days. We walked the pier. We hunted shells…. [Read More]

Quietude: July 16th, 2017
Greg Ortega When I see the same story or the same quote or the same Bible verse over and over, it doesn’t take rocket science to know that God wants to get a message through to me. Yes, I have been known to be thick-headed. This scripture from Paul’s second letter to Timothy has now… [Read More]
Five Minute Friday: COMFORT
Last night I dropped in on Kate Motaung and the Five Minute Friday Twitter party to say hello. I didn’t stay but a moment – by scanning the screen I could see that Kate was traveling as well as several others. There were a few new names, although I didn’t stick around to introduce myself….

And, I dreamed about Tara and Anita and some of the nurses at Nonnatus House (Call the Midwife) and… [Read More]

I took this photo years ago on a hike on the App Trail in the Grayson Highlands Park. The root system fascinated me then and still does today. There was no water near this path – is that why the roots of the huge tree stretch across the ground? Shallow Roots vs Deep Roots Water… [Read More]
