A story to help you hang in there and not give up!
Hey friend! I'm knee deep in writing on the Gospel of John study I've mentioned to you before. My deadline is late August to turn it in to my publisher and I would love your prayer support as I write. But right now, I'm stopping to encourage YOU. Meet me in the video below and invite a friend to join us. God loves you and
Secret Stuff and Jesus Stuffies!
Hello Dear Reader! Here I am back with another missive. It's literally feast or famine with me, isn't it? What can I say. Sometimes I just think of y'all and I know I've got to share. So, how about it? Wanna read some secret stuff? I haven’t cleared this with anyone (as in publisher and agent type people) but I’m gonna drop a few words
Keeping Up with Jesus
Perhaps you're familiar with the quote, "Comparison is the thief of joy." I am. I've heard it many times, and yet I was surprised recently to discover that the first person it was ever attributed to was President Theodore Roosevelt. That was interesting trivia, at least to me. I suppose I thought the words were spoken by a preacher, or maybe a motivational speaker. And

The Gospel Isn’t Grey
A loving warning. Beware the fuzzy, feel good God-speak that doesn’t center on Jesus, our Blessed Hope.

A Dangerous Faith
Hello friends, let's chat a spell
How You Can Know What You Need to Know
Hey friends, I do hope this finds you well and protected from these harsh weather conditions. As of this writing my loved ones and I have a roof over our heads, food to sustain us, and heat sources to warm us. I’m exceedingly grateful for these blessings and so conscious of those in more dire situations. My prayers are centered there. But I’ve got something on
Hopelessness Isn’t Your Portion
May I have a word with you, Miss Fearful? Have you never known the peace found in the refuge of God’s Presence that you can’t access it again? And you, dear Mr. Despondent, have you never known His cheer, that you should choose the company of your doldrums instead of turning your mind to His nearness? What say you, Believer All is Lost? Are you suggesting God
