Love, mercy, and grace – the very best of God, especially when we grieve, “Do not, O LORD, withhold your mercy from me; let your steadfast love and your faithfulness keep me safe forever” (Psalm 40:11 NRSV).

We're hard-wired to be record keepers.

We're created to be fear-less.

What does it mean to be fear-ful?

Fear is insidious, especially in grief.

Is there healing from grief? Do we ever really recover from grief?

Grief is many things, but it is not an on-demand experience.

Earth Day, Arbor Day, yet another wedding Anniversary - the occasions of April that, for me, are heavy laden with beauty, joy, and sorrow.

When we grieve, subliminally we constantly assess the parameters of our trust.

On remembrance days, we are easily engulfed by a tidal wave of emotions, as often our grief is renewed and revisited.

Easter is a tender time when we’re grieving the death of one we love.

As we journey through the valley of the shadow of death, we seek answers.
