Chronic Joy® Staff Writer and Prayer Team

Kara and her husband Conrad live in Calgary, Canada. After an almost 30-year career in teaching, Kara now enjoys leading ladies’ Bible studies, facilitating a chronic illness group, and helping new friends learn English. She loves the Word of God, and she loves encouraging others through her devotional writing. Kara felt led to write a book of devotionals (Searching for Sea Glass) when her journey with chronic illnesses pressed her into God’s arms of love more deeply. She prays that her journey and refinement will encourage you in your walk with God.

"Sometimes I get stalled in sending a card because I’m not sure what to write on the inside – I want to encourage or bring a smile to the recipient but can’t find the words." Kara Plett

People Watching in God’s Waiting Room

Can I encourage you to print out Holy Attention – People Watching? Tuck it in your pocket or purse the next time you go to an appointment. See how God can use that waiting room for some holy work – in your life and the life of others.

“I felt the impatience grow but then I was reminded of an idea I had recently read about at Chronic Joy called Holy Attention – People Watching. I was struck by this spiritual practice of really noticing those around me.” Kara Plett
