Coronam por cinere “…to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair.” Isaiah 61:3 There are times when our life truly feels like a bed of ashes.

My friend’s “little precious” had her 6th birthday recently. I am notoriously toy store phobic and absolutely prefer to take the route of handmade-and-meaningful as a gift, rather than store bought. Besides the obvious cost savings, there is something inherently special about a personalized gift. Since the birthday girl was my daughter’s...

“He will cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you will find refuge; His faithfulness will be your shield and rampart…” Psalm 91:4 This world beats us up. Knocks us around. Chews us up and spits us out. Then, presumptuously it waits, with bated breath, for us to willingly pick ourselves up, dust ourselves off, defiantly lift up our chin and face...

I proceeded to...

Love me some journals! In anticipation of the heART on Center Artwalk in Chula Vista, CA, I decided to try my hand at some handmade journals. I used old hardcover books that have been collecting dust on my shelves along with some thrifted hardcover books.

“O Lord, in the morning will I direct my prayers unto You and will look up…” Psalm 5:1 The greatest part of the dawn is the coming of a new day. Another chance to get it right. Another opportunity to let go of yesterday’s mistakes and start afresh. Another day to experience God’s love, His beautiful creation and the people who He so...

“Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.” Psalm 51:10 It is a painful moment when I reflect on the true condition of my heart and realize it’s not in as great of condition as I had imagined it to be.

The message is not a confusing one—Go Love. Simple and straighforward. And yet, why does is seems so difficult to put into practice. Ask most people and they will say that it is more LOVE that would cure the ails of this world. I’m relatively confident that most people will not refute that.
