Sunday, May 6, 2012. I was feeling fancy today on my grocery-shopping afternoon, so I drove past my usual Broadway Fellini Kroger. And to the Nike-shorts-and-visor-wearing-soccer-mom Bearden variety instead. I wandered into the natural and organic food section and found some dairy-free Cherry Amaretto Coconut Frozen Dessert. It is hot as a fire outside. Monday, March 19, 2012. On my honor, I will try. Saturday, March 3, 2012.

Daily space to be with God. Tuesday, August 18, 2015. Lord God, place a fire deep down in my soul, a fire that constantly makes me yearn for more and more of you. Help me to never settle for any less than that. Help me never to settle for a boring, mundane, half-hearted, lukewarm spiritual existence when you desire so much more for me than that. Do you have a plan for your spiritual growth? What will keep your faith from becoming ineffective or unfruitful. Monday, August 17, 2015.
