Pay Attention


What do you pay attention to?

I am often drawn to sounds that disrupt my thought process, whether I want to pay attention to them or not. Clicking pens, ticking clocks, anything that makes a sound on repeat, distract me so much that I no longer focus on what is important. How about you?

I have five book clubs signed up to read Everybody Lies, which includes an author visit from me. I will be signing and selling print copies on September 26 at the Ponds Vendor Market Under the Oaks and on September 27 at St. Andrews Parish UMC Fall Festival. You are more than welcome to bring your copy, and I will be glad to sign it for you or trade out a first-typo-copy for a clean copy.

Much joy and gratitude,

Sometimes, I needed to be alone when I was called to be with a lot of great people. Sometimes, I needed those same great people, and I...

Cat in sunlight appreciating life

Where are you this week? Are you feeling like a bubblegum ball in a dispenser pinging all over the place, hoping for a chance to be dropped in the slot? When you realize you have finally dropped in the slot, you are consumed with not an ounce of flavor left. Awe… what joy! Take 5 minutes and ponder with me how to handle being an appreciator and a performer. I am on scene 20 (of 40) for book 2. This is a journey with the bare essentials and no frills—a time to get the words down and keep...

You matter

Setting up and taking down. Starting again and starting over. Losing focus and regaining wisdom. All the words matter. When we share a kind word with someone else on a regular basis, we are bound to connect with someone who needed to hear what we said. Keep sharing the kind words even if you have no idea where they will land or who will hear them. If you need a course to help you learn how to lead worship, check out this link for details. I am leading the course in January. It is all online...
