  • Seeing Comets

    @carol_mcclain A lifetime fled without my ever having glimpsed a comet. In 1973 Kahoutec visited our skies when I lived in New York City. With the city’s manmade display of lights, my chances of seeing Kahoutec were non-existent. Actually, the city had little to do with my ability to witness the comet. I was too …[ read more ]

    @carol_mcclain Alone teaches us what being hungry really means. SPOILER ALERT: it’s not what Americans think. So much is said about the “food desert” here in the United States. I’m not so sure one exists. Maybe we have a chronic spelling problem and we’re really suffering from a “food dessert”? I’ve seen people go to food banks …[ read more ]

    @carol_mcclain 1 Peter 4:10 As each one has received a special gift, employ it in serving one another as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. I heard an interesting thought by Arlo Guthrie this weekend–who’d have thought he’d inspire inspirational thoughts.

    • Four Responses to Prayer. Which Fits You?

      arol McClain       @carol_mcclain  My roofer-brother-in-law flew four hundred miles to my house to put on a new roof. As a single mom with only my salary as support, his help was critical.

I was walking to my car after picking up groceries to feed him, when the story of Jesus calming the wind came to mind (Matthew 8:23-27). Shyly (I was in a public place) I raised my hand to the wind and prayed, “Be still. Please… ...[ full story ]
