About Ritchie
Ritchie Dawn Hale has worn many hats in her lifetime. Among those are Pastor's wife for fifty years, mother, Nonna, school teacher, and adult college student.
She loves to go on adventures, although now in her seventies, they are more like mild excursions. She loves a sense of exploring new things, immersing herself in the beauty of the outdoors (particularly along the beaches of Florida), and gardening in her flower beds.
As she experiences new things, she has a sense of connecting the old with the new, and discovering the hand of God in creation, and the voice of God in her heart.
Ritchie knew early in her life that she was an artist, photographer, and a writer. She has written for Upper Room, SBC Life, Campus Life, and is the author of "Treasures of the Tattered Box, A Journey to Remember," and her newest book, "Treasured Quiet Moments, Scribbles on Scraps."

Several years ago my husband and I visited the Cape Mays Lighthouse at the tip of New Jersey on the Atlantic coastline. After climbing the 199 steps to the wood-paneled lantern room, the docent pointed out many of the historical artifacts. When we mentioned that we planned to ride the ferry over to Lewes, Delaware, he began to explain about the Harbor of Refuge and the Breakwater Light.
The term Harbor of Refuge captured my attention and I began thinking of the many events in my life where I needed a safe place to wait out a storm that had come up suddenly on the horizon of my life.

Morning Meditations

Morning Meditations
Each year my husband and I serve a month at Shocco Springs Conference Center in Talladega, Alabama. As we drive across the campus it is a great joy to see the morning mist rise above the lake...and see the cross.
It's all about the cross. God loved me so much that He sent His Son to redeem me. With this wonderful promise, I discover praises flowing from my heart.
