Ponder: v.; to weigh in the mind, think about, reflect upon.

Sandi rises early to watch the sunrise with her Lord almost every morning. Is there a better way to start a day than by pondering in the intimacy of each morning's new light on a deck with an open view of the Sierra Nevada Mountains--Bible and coffee in hand? Often during these conversations with God, a word or phrase is given to her that she then prayerfully considers.

In this devotional, Sandi shares her sunrise ponderings; these short pieces are neither guided prayers nor a devotional but an invitation to an examined life in conversation with the God who loves you. They are honest, humorous, and thought-provoking.
