God doesn’t care if you’re still in pajamas or how long its been since you washed your hair. Every day, He shows up with an expectant grin to knock on the door of your soul. He waits patiently with a bouquet of roses, heart-shaped balloons and a flash mob of angels at His disposal, fully […]
Simple Faith: Believe in the power of prayer
If we could see the glimmering graces that soar into life on butterfly wings If we could see how they’re carried naturally on gentle breezes to hearts in need If we could see the way souls open up to receive the beautiful Truth about Love… We would stop wondering why God doesn’t give us more important jobs. […]
The power of carrying people’s stories in our hearts
Reflecting on all the different forms of prayer that I love, I think my favorite is one that I’ve never technically heard of or articulated even though it’s so natural I can’t by any means claim to have invented it. I think one of the most powerful ways we can bring God into someone’s life […]
Simple Faith: Remember to pray
Hearts are ships that can sink. When too many fears crash too fast… we can’t bail and steer at the same time … Blinded by the storms of life, will we remember to ask God for help? Will we notice how angels show up like deckhands with strong arms, buckets and a compass made of Light? Or […]
Just a Reminder: Believe in the power of prayer
Where words are too clumsy to go, prayers move secretly like ninjas over barbed wire fences, past guard dogs of broken hearts, around locked doors of raw vulnerability into tiny windows of hope that were left open a smidgen, almost sarcastically: as if angels are going to save me from this grim reality. I know the truth. […]

You can bathe in healing waters and allow God to peacefully deliver you into His promise for your […]
Spiritual Journey: when you have no one to turn to
Always Available The saints are just friends I can call at any hour, without waking anyone up- that’s what they’re here for. What would I do without them?
Incarcerated parent’s prayer
Lord, I have made some terrible mistakes, and I’m paying the price. Because I’m in prison, I can’t be there for my children physically, but I don’t want them to suffer for my mistakes. I miss them so much, and I feel horrible for the pain I’ve caused them in my absence. Please be with them everywhere they […]
Intergenerational healing prayer and the new Pixar movie Coco
I recently took my whole family to see the new Pixar movie Coco, which is based around the Mexican holiday Day of the Dead. We all loved it, kids ranging from ages 5-10 and adults alike. It’s about a little boy, who dreams of being a musician, but his family won’t allow it because the […]
Prayers like comets
Where thoughts, words and actions can’t go, our prayers travel on comet tails to distant galaxies, inviting grace into the atmosphere, so we can experience meteor showers of love.
