Love… One Sip At A Time // A Valentine Tea Party
I started hosting tea parties in an older home propped as pretty as you please on the corner of a quiet street. A family of four in a two-bedroom, one-bath home made for a tight fit, and tea parties felt downright snug, but no one would change a thing. Some teas were scripture-based, and others celebrated holidays, but every time, the room filled with the scent of scones, floral tea, and...
Breathing New Life Into Our Time With God
Are you a creature of habit? Confession: I use the same coffee mug for my morning brew (it’s 10 years old), enjoy almond butter toast every day by 7:30 a.m. and I use purple pens only for poetry. I also have the propensity to stick with the same routine when it comes to spending time with my Maker. The good thing about habits is that they provide predictability. The bad...
Sharing Life Together…One Sip At A Time
Welcome, friend. I hope you’ll pull up a chair and make yourself comfy while I’ll pour us a cuppa tea. Imaginary tea, after all, is always special. I’m asking God to STIR us, awakening us to His Word that we might allow it to STEEP deeply into our souls.

Sharing Life Together…One Sip At A Time: Friendships
Welcome! Thanks for stopping by. Pull up a chair, make yourself comfy, and I’ll pour us a cuppa tea. I wish we could physically sit across such a table together, but since most of us cannot, I created a summer tea time on Tuesday’s just for us. We’ll begin by asking God to stir us, awakening us to today’s takeaway. My prayer is that He will take...
