January 2014 Desktop Wallpaper

Frozen

We’re just days away from a brand spankin’ new year, friends, and it’s good to be alive!

And warm.

It’s been über chilly up in these parts – a record high, I hear – and the snow and ice have been relentless in their coating of branches, roofs and small creatures who care not for numb toes and frozen noses.

Frozen kids

Frozen branches-2

I was asked a few times last year whether I was planning on doing more desktop wallpaper, and while I had no legitimate reason or excuse why I wasn’t, the months just kept creeping up on me and I didn’t feel I had many great photos to choose from.

So…along with boycotting refined sugar again and attempting to shed these winter pounds, I’m committing to be more intentional about taking creative, artistic photos this year…and to turn them into desktop wallpaper for you…and it just so happens that ice makes for some spectacular shots.

Here’s one of my favorites, and no…it’s not cock-eyed, the wind was just strong enough to blow the icicles at an angle…

Simply click on the calendar size you need below, once loaded, right-click and save the image, then save it as your desktop wallpaper.  Voila!  Icy berries right before your eyes.

For large {1680 x 1050 pixels}, click here

For small {1280 x 800 pixels}, click here

And while this next one was taken on my phone – so the quality isn’t fantastic – the fact that the ice crystals are actually visible just takes my breath away…

Simply click on the calendar size you need below, once loaded, right-click and save the image, then save it as your desktop wallpaper.  Magic!  Snow-encrusted branches right before your very eyeballs.

For small {1280 x 800 pixels}, click here

 

And there you have it, folks…the first of what I hope to provide a consistent slew of in this next year.

Blessings to you and yours in 2014…may it prove to be your favorite year yet!

What if success has become the safest place you've What if success has become the safest place you've ever known?

This week on Oh, Good Grief, we're exploring Enneagram Type Three: The Achiever...the gifts of ambition and excellence, the hidden burden of performance, and the freedom that comes when we stop confusing what we do with who we are.

If you've ever struggled to slow down, feared failure, or quietly wondered whether you'd still be enough without your accomplishments, this conversation is for you.

Because your identity isn't something you build.
It's something you receive.

🎧 Episode 031 is available wherever you listen to podcasts.

If you're a Two, my prayer is that this week you'l If you're a Two, my prayer is that this week you'll discover the freedom of receiving as deeply as you've spent your life giving.

That you'll find the courage to let someone care for you, to believe your needs matter, and to rest in the quiet assurance that you have never had to earn the love God has already poured over you.

May you serve from fullness, not emptiness, and may you remember that before you were ever helpful, you were already beloved.
Are you always the one checking in, showing up, re Are you always the one checking in, showing up,
remembering the details, and making sure everyone else is okay?

Maybe you've wondered why asking for help feels so much harder than offering it.

This week on Oh, Good Grief, we're exploring the Enneagram Type Two (The Helper or Befriender)...how our greatest gifts can become survival strategies, why people-pleasing often has deeper roots than we realize, and how the Gospel gently reminds us that we don't have to earn the love we've already been given.

If you've ever believed your value comes from what you do for others,
I hope this conversation reminds you of something better:

You are not loved because you serve. You serve because you are loved.

What if the Enneagram isn't about discovering your What if the Enneagram isn't about discovering your personality...
but uncovering your survival strategy, and finding freedom and wholeness.

Today we're kicking off a summer series on Oh, Good Grief exploring the Enneagram through the lens of grief, trauma, healing, and the Gospel.

This isn't a series about labels or stereotypes. It's about understanding the stories we've believed, the coping strategies we've developed, and the invitation God extends to each of us to live in greater freedom.

Whether you've known your number for years or you're not sure what all the Enneagram fuss is about, I hope you'll join me for the journey.

The world tells us to be productive. Jesus often i The world tells us to be productive.
Jesus often invited people to be present.

This week's episode, inspired by Theo of Golden,
is about slowing down long enough to notice the birdsong, the feather on the path, the hurting friend, the image of God in another person.

Because sometimes the most sacred work isn't accomplishing.
It's paying attention.

Because people are rarely changed by being impress Because people are rarely changed by being impressed,
they are changed by being seen.

Perhaps the most Christlike thing you can do this week
is simply pay attention. To God. To beauty.
To the person in front of you.

The world has enough people rushing through it.
Be the kind of person who notices.

#TheoOfGolden #OhGoodGriefPodcast
I finished a book recently, and instead of closing I finished a book recently,
and instead of closing the cover and moving on,
I found myself carrying it around in my heart.

Not just because of the story.
But because of the main character.

Theo of Golden left me asking a question I can't shake:
What kind of person am I becoming?

The kind who hurries?
Or the kind who notices?
The kind who is quick to fix?
Or the kind who simply stays?

This week's episode is a reflection on the sacred art of noticing,
the beauty in ordinary places, the gold hidden in people,
and the Christlike practice of being fully present.

The enemy may wound. But he doesn't get to write t The enemy may wound.
But he doesn't get to write the ending.

Morgan's story includes abuse, betrayal, fear, and years of healing.

Yet today she spends her life loving vulnerable children, opening her home to foster kids, and building a family rooted in grace.

What could have broken her became
the very place God planted compassion.
That's redemption.
Not erasing the wound.
Not pretending it didn't happen.

But allowing God to grow something beautiful from what was meant to destroy.
