The babble of serious little voices. The soft staccato patter of little feet. The serious little face: wide eyed, soft cheeked, rosy lipped. A chubby hand grabs my leg. Somehow, I give them comfort, my boys, yet I must seem so large and powerful to them. Still, their trust in me is simple and matter-of-fact.
It’s [...]

Something about walking clears, refocuses, and refreshes my mind. How many times I’ve begun a walk with my spirit downcast, and arrived home invigorated.
Today the sun is golden and the wind makes the leaves above my head shake on the arms of the trees, yet it is still below. Fallen leaves drift into piles like [...]

Our room overlooks the ocean. We sleep with the sliding glass doors open; the only sounds are the thunder of the waves and the whirl of the ceiling fan. The sound of the waves remind me of a strong wind, rushing through the leaves of trees. A full moon spills light, as white as milk, [...]

Yours truly just received her new copy of Radiant Magazine. Very happy to see a nice looking page of an article I wrote that you first read here. Of course the printed version is more polished and was first edited by my husband, who always does a great job as my Editor-in-Chief!

By Joshua and Danielle Jones, written and performed as a Christmas hymn last year. Inspired by a painting by the same name at The Walters Art Museum.
Come adore on bended knee
Like the shepherds kneel
Before the Mystery
Come adore on bended knee
Like the wise men
Come and see . . .
You are the adoration of shepherds
The adoration of [...]

A string of summer memories
That slip like beads on a thread
And lace my days with remembrances of . . .
Eating berries from a tangle,
The juice dark and sweet.
And dusty roads stretching before me
And melting away beyond the bend–beckoning.
And oh, that summer heat!
Memories of feet singking into oozing mud,
Cool, refreshing and sticky.
Grasshopers jumping as I pass.
Rows [...]

Living sacrifice
Passover lamb
Living sacrifice
Met sin’s demand
Living sacrifice
Nailed on a tree
Living sacrifice
Crucified for me
Chorus
Veil torn in two
Access to you
Holy, pleasing, and true
I worship you
Living sacrifice
Poured out for me
Living sacrifice
A drink offering
Living sacrifice
That’s what you want me to be
Living sacrifice
My life a burnt offering
Chorus
Veil torn in two
Access to you
Holy, pleasing, and true
I worship you

Note: I posted this about 7 months ago, but am reposting it, because it’s a good reminder for me today. It’s also a thoughtful reminder with Easter approaching us. If I can figure it out, Josh and I recorded this song in GarageBand and I’ll try to post it.
Can I bear this for your name?
You [...]
