The world is only getting colder and sadder and harder, yet I am more at peace and more at ease. Seems odd, I know, […]

Lingering Light

Hello from long-lost Lisa!! It’s been a while, huh? I’ve had a lot happen since my last post, but now I find myself able to get back into the swing of things. I don’t intend to post on a regular basis, but I will as I’m able. Currently, I’m working on a new fiction book, […]

Be About People

2024: Embrace the Wait

I seriously thought we would be out of here in 2020, then in 2021 and 2022 and 2023. Yet here we are, still waiting and longing and hoping. Might 2024 be the year? Or will we be called to endure another year, God’s gift of time offered to this lost and dying world? If another […]
