Jesus Every Day
A Book Review
Sometimes you strike gold…
When was the last time you picked up a book and were blown away by the first sentence? Magic, right?
That happened to me when I picked up Mary DeMuth’s book, Jesus Every Day, pictured here. For anyone who has followed me for awhile, you know that …
The Story of a Dad
This guy, my Dad, was and still is my hero. He served his country in the Navy during the Korean War. He and Mom reared four children, losing two along the way. He taught me the meaning of integrity and keeping my word. I can’t remember a time when he made a promise he didn’t keep. If I …

The Story of A Mom

That Day In Sewing Class
“Let your speech always be with grace…” (Colossians 4:6)

The Mercy Thorn
“What is this, Eve?” Adam pointed at his feet where a strange plant grew. He was sure he’d never seen it before. It had spiny branches, small purple flowers, and thorns longer than Adam’s little finger.
“I don’t know, Husband.” She knelt at his feet and touched the stiff spines. “But I like the …
God’s Glasses
(This post is revised from a past release.)
