A babe in Christ… I still am so don’t release me, yet back into the same secular world with which I’ve just escaped temptation. For awhile, I need to be protected, hidden behind a hedge, and cradled as the babe in Christ that I am. Do not push me from the nest until I can […]

Do you think there is any such thing as, “the greater the loss, the greater the blessing?” Sounds kind of crazy, right? Yet, the older I get and the more life I live, the more I think it could be true. Like many, I have lost much in this life… and many times over, at […]

Sometimes life throws us one curve ball after another. In fact, isn’t it just a given? Is life not full of one challenge after another?

May my words fall silent If my tongue wants to lie. May my pride be exposed If I become haughty in life. May my jealousy be subdued If I envy what isn’t mine. May my anger be dissolved If I seek revenge for a wrong. May my greed be squandered If I desire selfish pleasures. […]
