Writing Update and Links I Love
Writing Update I’m working away on a new novel. A secondary character from Covert Justice just showed up on the front porch and sent things in a very interesting direction. This guy is persistent!

Sometimes God Asks You to Skip Bible Study
Sometimes God asks you to skip Bible study. I know. Not really what you’d expect is it? Bible study is good. Fellowship with other believers is good. Showing up when you’ve committed to something is good. All good. But not always best. I will fully admit that when I skipped Bible study, I didn’t expect… [ read more ]

Resolved, To Trust Him More
It’s resolution time. Whether we make them or not, we are all thinking about them. Because deep down, we know something is missing. We aren’t who we want to be. We aren’t living the life we want to live. We don’t understand it, this need, this desire, we just know we long for more. But… [ read more ]
