Tumbling in at first light, scrambled, fragmented, shrouded and incomplete Thoughts – mixed, imagined, punctuated with question marks, exclamation points, commas, periods, and more- waiting to be untangled, sorted, aligned aching to be finalized, completed, emphasized into a moment, a paragraph, a chapter, but sometimes troubled into an ellipsis … a pause hanging in considerationContinue reading “Punctuating Life…”

The View of Everything
It is quite unlikely that this little gull’s brain was filled with philosophical or theological thoughts as it watched the rising sun drive away the darkness hiding Stonington Harbor and the thoroughfare. In contrast, human minds constantly deal with values and meaning and purposes even while enjoying a sunrise. C.S. Lewis once said: “I believeContinue reading “The View of Everything”

A New Day…
As the rising sun drives darkness to the other side of the earth, a breathtaking, sky beautifully announces another day to continue our story and to possibly change its narrative. Imagine how spectacular the dawning of creation must have been! God was impressed enough to begin His story with humanity …God said, “Let there be light,”Continue reading “A New Day…”
In a Hurry?
With morning’s first light, as the sun climbs over the horizon and heaven turns the page to a new day, God graciously gives us a new beginning. The faithful love of the LORD never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning. I say to myself, “The LORDContinue reading “In a Hurry?”
Christmas Gift
On the dawn of that first Christmas morning, an unsuspecting world had no idea that a new era had arrived. It was totally unprepared to accept a poor baby born in a Bethlehem stable as “Immanuel”, God with us. But the Christ-child was the visible manifestation of God’s unconditional love for all humanity, a loveContinue reading “Christmas Gift”

For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation ofContinue reading “Creation Speaks”
Commending God
Another beautiful day begins on the Maine Coast, where there is always something old to be taught and something new to learn … Down east accents murmur and drift across the water as this old salt and his unseasoned stern man (maybe father and son) plan the day and begin their work adventure together. DuringContinue reading “Commending God”
Morning Prayer
A new day with its fresh possibilities is best begun with thoughtful consideration of our Great God, whose purposes for us are grand and wonderful and whose thoughts toward us are “precious” and “vast” and more numerous that “the grains of the sea”. (Psalm 139) Praying Psalm 143 is a wonderful way to start eachContinue reading “Morning Prayer”
