“the Voice of Love”
if love needs an answer
then it’s not waiting
if love needs direction
then it’s not asking
if love feels alone
then it’s not listening to Love

Underground
For the last few days, I’ve been on a solitude retreat, and it was amazing! Since I’ve been going on these alone, I don’t feel like I “meet God” there; it’s more like I “take Him” with me, so the past few days have been more like a weekend getaway with my Husband. Continue reading
Bye for Now
I’m going on a retreat tomorrow but am going to start withdrawing now, so I won’t be writing for a few days.
Let me tell you about my retreat. I’m so excited!!
I’m going to a retreat center on Palomar Mountain. Normally, people go there in groups of hundreds. I like to go alone.
In the past, I’ve gone to another center, but this will be my first time at this one. Because I’m a leader, I get the “pastor’s special,”…all meals included. I won’t be taking anything electronic with me. My car’s been acting up, so I’ll take my phone, but hopefully, I won’t turn it on.
I’m excited: me, God, bibles, paper, pens, thoughts, imagination, conversation…
all alone…
all one with God.
The Morning After
If you asked me, I’d say we had a lot of fun on Halloween, and when I say “we,” I mean me, Carolyn, Nathan, and then some.
The kids keep wanting “game nights,” so I keep creating time to have them, so on Friday, a few of Carolyn’s friends came over to hang out, and a couple of them ended up staying all weekend. Continue reading
“One on One”
poetry is a way
for you to know me
each line
an open door
to see what’s inside
to read between the lines
to read behind the lines
all of it truth
all of it out there
as the words
enter your eyes
to your heart
there’s a moment created
for you to ask
for you to listen
for you to understand
for you to delve
and get to know me
if you want
