A word I’m learning to live with this summer is LINGER. Linger means: Stay in a place longer than necessary, typically because of a reluctance to leave. When my 12-year-old asks to play another hand of cards, “puh-leeze,” he lingers. When I meet a friend for coffee and 2 hours seems too short, we linger. …
Stepping Out to Serve
My great delight with Summer Refresh was sharing alongside Stacey and Kathy. Each added her own unique perspective from week to week, Stacey in front of the group and Kathy here on the blog. Listen to Stacey’s reflections from our last class: In the last video of the series, Ann brings together all the concepts …
A Thought on List Keeping
As we've made our way through the One Thousand Gifts study during Summer Refresh, many of us have become list keepers. We're naming thankful moments. We're counting the ways God has loved us well.

Unfolding Grace
“So we’re not giving up. How could we! Even though on the outside it often looks like things are falling apart on us, on the inside, where God is making new life, not a day goes by without his unfolding grace.” 2 Corinthians 4:16 MSG Just remembering their muddy faces makes me smile. It was 8 …
