Since I became a Pinkner, my Cox sleep genes have been replaced. I had the spiritual gift of sleep at any time and any place, and now if I “sleep through the night” without having several bouts of waking times in the middle of the night, I celebrate. Greg has always had a hard timeContinue reading “Haunted Thoughts”

This week…
This week marks the week of Christ’s suffering and death and ressurection. It has been a blessing already as I have read the scriptures of his entry into Jerusalem and his ministry in the first part of the week. Yesterday, I was reminded in personal time with God and at church that Jesus didContinue reading “This week…”
Beautiful reminders…snow falling
Last week, I was privileged to have moments by the window with coffee while it was snowing. It was quiet…the kind of peaceful quiet that only comes when watching snow blanketing the ground. In that moment, I was reminded that I am one of those snowflakes–here and gone in an instant with no clear markContinue reading “Beautiful reminders…snow falling”

Last week, I was spending time with girls at my second home, Panera, when I happened to notice that my wedding rings were not present in their usual spot. At first, I thought “oh I must have forgotten to put them on this morning–theyContinue reading “It was once lost…and it was bad!”
Thankful reflections
Today, I got to go to my sister’s lake house to be still before God. I curled up in a chair with a heater on full blast and journaled prayers and studied God’s word. It was a blessing. In December I visited there, and I knew there was a need for me to pull awayContinue reading “Thankful reflections”
In an instant…
Today, I spent most of my day at Panera on campus. We were finishing up a study and discussion on Esau trading his birthright for a meal. We were discussing the great hope and inheritance we have in Christ and how we trade it at times for circumstantial numbing and temporal things when out ofContinue reading “In an instant…”
