Not actual beds, of course, but still, I put the bees to bed for the winter yesterday. I like to think that I’m getting better at Up North Beekeeping. We hit 50 degrees yesterday, the Friday after Thanksgiving, and my hives were hopping. The bees were flying at five degrees […]
The devotion I wrote for today’s date in _Mornings with Jesus_ doesn’t show me in the best light. I like to think I’m a little (or maybe a lot) better than I really am. I tend to act nicer when I think people are watching. Maybe we all do. That […]
My chickens are eggers. They laid all winter long without a molting break. When they were chicks I looked forward to the first pullet eggs. At first I marveled at their ovoid offerings. I held them up on the way back from the barn as if to show them to […]
My cat’s life is not ideal. He is afraid of our dog, a rescue that lived peacefully with a cat in her foster home. That cat ignored her, unless the dog chased her. Then, like most cats, it would turn, arch, hiss, and, if necessary unsheath its claws to deliver […]

Suzanne is a writer and speaker whose first published works were for professional nursing journals. She wrote a book of devotions for nurses; followed by The Sheep of His Hand, a book about following Jesus, based on years of caring for and observing her sheep on the family farm in Illinois.
For the last three years, Suzanne has written for Guideposts’ popular devotion series, Mornings with Jesus 2015, 2016, and 2017.
After twenty years as a shepherd and twenty-seven years caring for tiny and sick newborns as an RN and Nurse Practitioner, Suzanne and her husband, Mike, moved to a cabin in the Hiawatha Forest in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, where she continues to spin yarns, as well as spin actual yarn from the wool of her beloved sheep. She knits, weaves, and pursues an outdoor lifestyle in the boreal forest near the southern shore of Lake Superior. A pair of loons and the occasional trumpeter swan do their best to distract Suzanne from her writing.
She’s not falling for it.
