Psalm 139:13-14 says, “For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are Your works.” Most of us don’t walk around imagining how amazing we are. We seldom contemplate the incredible mystery of how we were formed in the […]
Recently, I was drawn to a reading in Psalm 56:8, which says this: “You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in your bottle. You have recorded each one in your book.” When I shared this Scripture with my husband, he told me this verse depicts a literal thing. In […]
Summertime often brings a flurry of special events, and weddings are high on the list. Now that Covid 19 does not restrict us quite as much, we might find ourselves blessed to be part of weddings again. As I was thinking about that, I remembered a piece written some time ago by Ryan and Selena […]

A while back, I was honored to be inducted into the Unatego High School Hall of Distinction for my work in writing and publishing. It was a blessing to me, and gave me an opportunity to reconnect with old friends, and the community that nurtured me. I was invited to speak to a couple of […]
Remember the little fable about the blind men who come upon an elephant? The men were trying to determine what an elephant is like. Each described the elephant from a different point of view. They concluded that the elephant was perhaps like a rope, or a basket, or a pipe. As one writer put it: […]
A few years ago, I wrote a book called Your Promises from God Today. The idea of the book was to help readers express their feelings and frustrations to God and to understand that God has an answer, a promise that He is willing to make for nearly every circumstance life presents. Since these are feelings we all […]
Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you. Ephesians 4:32, NLT Forgive. Is there any word that humbles our spirits more than this one? Forgive means I’m letting someone off the hook. It means shutting down the stories in my head from the past. My […]
