The New Year is almost here. A fresh start. For me it will be a year to learn to live grace-paced. You can read about that here where I share about my 2020 word-of-the-year. The last Recalibrate Life book I read in 2019 was Alan Fadling's book "An Unhurried Life." This book led me to [...]
My word/phrase for 2019 was "recalibrate life." And now that the year is nearing its end it seems appropriate to look back and re-evaluate. I feel very positive about the inner growth that took place this year. My "inner growth" has translated into life changes, true recalibration. Both heart transformation and mind reset. As I [...]
Do you ever feel defeated? Everything is going wrong. No matter what you try it seems things just don't work out. You feel frustrated and at the edge of despair. And you are just ready to give up. Can anything else go wrong? In Psalm 143:3 AMPC David says, "For the enemy has pursued and [...]
Time, is there ever enough of it? It doesn't seem like it. My to-do lists always seem longer than the hours in the day. This month my Recalibrate Life read is A Place Called Simplicity: The Quiet Beauty of Simple Living by Claire Cloninger. The feeling that we lack time seems to complicate life; it [...]

What do you say when you don't know what to say? When your neighbor's husband dies from a heart attack at 32 leaving his wife with four young children. When the retired couple at church have all of their financial savings taken in a scam and are left with nothing. When the cancer comes back [...]
Dear Friends, I apologize that I did not post a blog last week. I hope to get back to a more normal schedule next week. My elderly mother was in the hospital and is now in rehab. She has fractures in her sacrum and is in a great deal of pain. Taking care of all [...]
"Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me, yet not my will, but yours be done." Luke 22:42 Beautiful surrender to the will of God for the glory of God, that is what Jesus shows us there in the Garden of Gethsemane. He shares the sorrow and agony of His heart, asks for a [...]
Do you feel lonely? We all go through seasons of loneliness. Times when we feel no one is really listening. Times when no one sees who we are. Times when it seems that no one even cares what we do. We want to be known. Loneliness makes my heart hurt. It is sad. It is [...]
