As a contemplative Quaker I see my job as loving creation, holding hope, nurturing, laughing, praying, and being attentively grateful. My blog, “Reflections on the Ordinary” captures appreciation for things messy and glorious, ancient and ever-changing, living and dying, and always held in the heart of God.

Alongside writing, my professional journey has included nursing, academia, farming and husbandry, and the offering of spiritual direction. For 20 years I taught sociology to college students, journeying with them as they connected dots from here to there, making sense of the world and their place in it. My Ph.D. gave me access to the ivory towers of academia that continues to inform my writing. When I transitioned out of the classroom, I

Quotes by Lisa Graham McMinn  (?)

“Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. If you do this, you will experience God's peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand.”
Lisa Graham McMinn, The Contented Soul: The Art of Savoring Life

“God created a universe that would come into its fullness, infusing all that was needed with the spoken Word, with a seed that is coming into fullness yet. If the universe is still expanding, might that also mean that the fullness of earth is yet to be realized, yet to be complete in every particular way, to become all that is possible?
If one imagines creation beginning with a seed that God planted, then a large pumpkin seed or a tiny carrot seed is more than a metaphor. It is God at work, still.”
Lisa Graham McMinn, To The Table: A Spirituality of Food, Farming, and the Community

“To limit the ways our daughters can legitimately function as stewards/rulers further devalues the image of God in them and continues the imbalance and distortion of God's plan.”
