Bride and Bridegroom – Linda Vogt Turner

Who Is My Neighbour? Lessons from the Ditch

A red-haired woman pours water into a glass as her reflection appears in the oval mirror behind her, with a rooster perched above.

The Samaritan Parable, a mirror. The question “Who is my neighbour?” strikes us like a rock as we ponder the words of Micah 6:8.

The Bent Woman

Fishnet shawl draped on a cross with crown of thorns on black rock, symbolizing the Bride breaking free and anchored in hope.

The Bent Woman — the Bride breaking free, standing upright in hope, Christ’s mystery revealed in a prime number pair.

What Defines You?

AI-generated portrait of a red-haired woman with glasses, looking thoughtful, as if pondering the question: Does Christ define us?

What defines us? Is it the names we are given, the work we do, the loves we cherish, the faith we live — or even the last breath we take? In this reflection, Linda Vogt Turner weaves memory, scripture, and the witness of her late husband Gordon and her beloved fiancé Don to show how Christ’s covenant love — fragile yet enduring — defines us still, honouring both mother and father and drawing us into a greater promise.
