God’s Fugue

Susan LeDoux Posted on January 17, 2021 by Susan LeDouxJanuary 17, 2021

Especially this year, some question why a perfect, loving God is allowing all this chaos. I’ve often heard God’s movements in time likened to the back of a tapestry. While it looks like a mess on the back, on the … Continue reading →

Called to Serve

Susan LeDoux Posted on December 20, 2020 by Susan LeDouxDecember 20, 2020

Susan LeDoux Posted on November 22, 2020 by Susan LeDouxNovember 22, 2020

Many years ago, as members of the Sports Car Club of America, my husband and I attended races run by the Club in Watkins Glen, NY. I recall standing at the edge of the racetrack just before the start of … Continue reading →

God is Sovereign

Susan LeDoux Posted on October 25, 2020 by Susan LeDouxOctober 25, 2020

My husband and I had no idea we were “dog people” until Molson loped into our lives. A German shepherd/huskie mix, Molson was on his way to the animal shelter when he took a detour into our home and hearts. … Continue reading →

Sukkot – Feast of Booths

Susan LeDoux Posted on September 27, 2020 by Susan LeDouxSeptember 27, 2020

Reading the Old Testament and studying Church history makes it clear that our Christian faith is deeply rooted in Judaism. Pastors declare the entire Old Testament points to the coming of Jesus. Messianic Jews frequently tell about coming to know … Continue reading →

Best Poetry Ever!

Susan LeDoux Posted on August 30, 2020 by Susan LeDouxAugust 30, 2020

  We have a talented poet in our writers’ group. Unfortunately, I’m not that skilled at interpreting that genre.  Sometimes her poetry puzzles me, but it is always lyrical. But I think the best poetry (both understandable — even for … Continue reading →

Black Lives Matter – 18th Century, Quaker Style

Susan LeDoux Posted on July 5, 2020 by Susan LeDouxJuly 5, 2020

Mea culpa. I am guilty. This nation is guilty. That disgusting news clip of a man, who is old enough to know better, raising his fist and shouting “white power,” shows how many still do not see our collective and … Continue reading →

What is your Ebenezer?

Susan LeDoux Posted on June 7, 2020 by Susan LeDouxJune 7, 2020

For me, the name Ebenezer conjures a wizened old farmer in dirt smudged coveralls. I wonder if anyone’s been named Ebenezer since the 20th century. I heard an interesting reference to Ebenezer in Joni Eareckson Tada’s seven-day devotional Shelter in … Continue reading →

The Divine Healer’s Legacy

Susan LeDoux Posted on May 10, 2020 by Susan LeDouxMay 10, 2020

Last week’s National Nurses Day heralded a flood of appreciation for the work nurses do as they (and other health care workers/first responders) risk their lives to save others. Such dedication seems so much a part of American heroism, we … Continue reading →
