God is Calling

Pain insists upon being attended to. God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our consciences, but shouts in our pains. It is his megaphone to rouse a deaf world.

― C.S. Lewis

Why, oh Lord, do I cry and complain when I am hurting, not recognizing that You may be shouting to get my attention. You may be trying to teach me something important. Forgive my complaining, Lord, and open my ears to hear what You long to teach me.

After raising a family and then teaching for over 20 years, I retired from full-time work. Now I spend time with family, tap dance, take long walks in nature, read, and write. I have published two stories in Chicken Soup for the Soul books and over a dozen devotions. My current goal is to publish a book of meditations over the gospels and to share my devotional writing on my blog. I hope you enjoy and are inspired.
