Always Wondering: Am I Doing God’s Work?

July 16, 2020June 26, 2020 ~ Susan Fischbach Isaacs

This week's Revisited addresses an ongoing question for me. It first appeared here in 2019.

Most importantly, am … Continue reading Always Wondering: Am I Doing God’s Work?

I Dreamed I was Writing.

May 30, 2020 ~ Susan Fischbach Isaacs ~ 1 Comment

Today's Poem Today Photo by Tim Foster on Unsplash. I dreamed I was writing. Words marched  In precision parade, Each following each, Waiting at the tip of my pen To be revealed -- To fulfill its purpose. Words grew Into a battalion, Proud to stand together,  Ready to be struck down To serve the greater … Continue reading I Dreamed I was Writing.

Over It

May 2, 2020June 26, 2020 ~ Susan Fischbach Isaacs ~ 2 Comments

Photo by Micheile Henderson on Unsplash It’s time for a deeper-level check-in than a haiku. At this writing, it’s day 46 of me keeping mostly to home, so we’ve had more than a Lent’s-worth of shelter in place; but even though the Easter candy is long gone, it feels more like Lent than ever. The … Continue reading Over It

Photo by Susan Isaacs, taken on the Iowa City Literary Walk, Iowa. Well, that lasted about as long as I expected it would.

This Labor Day weekend has me pondering, as someone who doesn’t bring home a regular paycheck, what is the work that I do? How do I -- or am I -- contribute(ing) to the good of society? Most importantly, am I contributing for the good of God’s kingdom?  It’s timely that the homily I heard … Continue reading Am I Doing God’s Work?

The Divine Present

October 30, 2014September 6, 2019 ~ Susan Fischbach Isaacs ~ 2 Comments

I received a divine birthday gift, given to me on my actual birth day that I might spend my life giving it away; and instead I found it, just this week, buried in the back of the closet. The sad thing is I hadn’t even realized it had been misplaced. It got set down for … Continue reading The Divine Present
