Stay the Course

I have to be honest with you. The news doesn't seem to bring much hope. The images are disturbing. The Virus is still around. There is anger and destruction.

A Strange Land

Somehow I knew that would be the last time I'd see her on earth.

Roll it Over

By Shirley Mozena|2020-05-22T07:54:03-07:00May 22nd, 2020|Categories: Nature's Wonders, Spiritual Reflections|

Just as the rolling Deschutes River flows along, bouncing over the rocks and trees in its way into the mighty Columbia, we can roll our needs, problems, grief to the self existent One

Creation Shows…..

I'm amazed at creation and how it displays God's handiwork. I see a Master Creator in the blooms of Spring.

Stand, Look, Listen

The Storm

There will be other storms in this life because we live in an imperfect world. The storm of this pandemic will end.

A Promise

By Shirley Mozena|2020-04-17T08:41:59-07:00April 17th, 2020|Categories: Fear, Grief and Loss, Spiritual Reflections|

Will life return to normal? I can't answer those doubts and nagging questions, but I can point you to One who knows about our situation. Remember the promise mentioned above. He promises to strengthen and help. He reminds us not to fear.

The Deep Love Made it Good Friday

By Shirley Mozena|2020-04-10T07:55:53-07:00April 10th, 2020|Categories: Grief and Loss|

This Good Friday is the first time in a long time that I won't go to church and contemplate what Jesus did for me. But I can do it at home, too.

Our New Normal

By Shirley Mozena|2020-04-03T16:31:15-07:00April 3rd, 2020|Categories: Spiritual Reflections|

I'd like our world to be normal and it isn't. But one thing that is normal. We can trust the God who made us and eases our pain and discomfort.

We Wait

We wait for the time when we can move about freely. Get closer to our families and not feel the heaviness of this loss. When we can return to our jobs, and churches, and friends. Until then, we wait. Together.
