Worrier Warrior

February 1, 2023January 31, 2023 ~ Distillations.blog ~ Leave a comment

I do my fair share of worrying but my best and most committed worrying (the kind I stay awake for) is done for those closest to me. The other day I was worrying about the length of time my adult son was on his computer. I suggested (insisted) he went for a walk. He pointed … Continue reading Worrier Warrior

Prayer

December 7, 2022 ~ Distillations.blog ~ Leave a comment

I have a prayer practice every day. It takes a while because there are many people whom I pray for - family, friends, and people I connect with throughout my day whose stories capture my heart. As I was praying yesterday a thought popped into my head. “What if there is no outcome to these … Continue reading Prayer

“Just”

March 16, 2022 ~ Distillations.blog ~ Leave a comment

When I use “just” in a sentence that starts with “Can I just say this one thing?”, what I am hoping to do is to downplay and to a big extent, hide, what is coming next. You hear the words “just… and one thing”, and you could fairly expect that what will follow will be … Continue reading “Just”

Loud Thoughts

August 22, 2020August 22, 2020 ~ Distillations.blog ~ 7 Comments

  I was laying in bed, brooding about my day when it came to me that I was having “Loud thoughts”.

She thinks we should … Continue reading Loud Thoughts

Balance smellance!

January 10, 2020January 10, 2020 ~ Distillations.blog ~ 3 Comments

  “We fear excess, so we embrace mediocrity and call it balance... When it comes to our faith and our testimony, we mustn’t downplay, soft-pedal or sidestep the very things God has given us that make us distinctive. If we do, people will be disappointed and go elsewhere. The disciples didn’t blend in with the … Continue reading Balance smellance!

In all things, at all times

March 24, 2019March 24, 2019 ~ Distillations.blog ~ Leave a comment

As part of my Lenten practice I am doing a YouVersion bible study. The one I have chosen is called Journeying with Jesus - 40 days Lent Devotional by Susan Narjala. Today I was reading about when Jesus is in the Garden of Gethsemane just before he is arrested and he asks his disciples to … Continue reading In all things, at all times
