Articles of Reflection
Thoughts and experiences from my heart to yours ...

by Shannon Parish

  • A Moment in Time  I had awakened alert and refreshed this morning, unlike many  . . .

  • Accusations  Don't be mistaken - accusations WILL come.  There are always those who will cause division and strife

  • Buried Treasure  Somewhere in time, a hand is cradling within its palm, dozens of priceless, living pearls.

  • Castaway  On a tiny, desert island, a few palm trees struggle against the biting wind as a lone person stands

  • Character 101  Holding the binoculars up to her eyes, she too gasped and said, "I can't believe my eyes either!"

  • Come and See! The giant package of goodies arrives at the office in a plain brown box.

  • Crossing the Wilderness  I realized why those who had come out of Egypt just couldn't cross over the Jordan into the promised land . . .

  • Don't Look Down  I could stop and back down in defeat, or cast caution to the wind . . .

  • Dragon Slayer  In 1999 I had the pleasure of witnessing the rebirth of my oldest son . . .

  • Eclipsed  The night was chilly and crisp, the skies clear and the mountains to the west glowed an eerie silver blue-gray . . .

  • Finding the Embraceable You  Imagine what the world would be like if people focused more on who they were as individuals rather than judging what they thought every one else was.

  • First Things First  As is our habit as parents, when confronted by a bored child, we'll quickly tell them to stop complaining and . . .

  • Garment Exchange A stranger steps out from the shadows and weeping bitterly stops . . .

  • Gifts to the Beloved  Hypnotically delighted, I watched the diamond- like bursts of color . . .

  • Glorious Rewards  Each morning as I drove to work, I was left breathless . . .

  • God Did Not Waste His Time Creating You Are you getting what you wanted out of life? Time to take another approach . . .

  • Live Your Dream If you don't - someone else will.

  • Polar Opposites Uncover Hidden Truths If perfect people existed, we wouldn't need one another

  • Role of a Pastor's Wife  "How can I be the best pastor's wife that I can be?" "What is expected of me as a new pastor's wife?"

  • Should I Leave or Not? Important questions to ask before you leave your church,. . .

  • Sinking Ship or Leadership?  “The sky is falling! The sky is falling!” . . .

  • Turn On the Light!  Most likely you've been there.  Hearing a noise in the dark . . .

  • Why People Fail at Living Their Dreams  We preach prosperity, and that God wants the best for us, and that all that our hands touch will prosper. But . . .
