My local writers' group - Wolf Creek Christian Writers Network - has partnered with the amazing local shop - Made in Colorado Shoppe - to do a book signing on Fri., Dec. 5th noon to 5 p.m. Please stop by for a treat - think cookies - and a chance to pick up a signed book or two for gifties! Perhaps even treat yourself 😉

It is not hewn from costly stones or precious marble. It is not spread with fine, pure-white linen cloths. Neither is it surrounded by alabaster statues; no crucifix is raised above it to remind me of

Victims are not always virtuous. But most of us would judge that they still deserve our help and support. However, in pre-Christian history, if you were born amid the meager margins of society and ma

My words are true. Almost unbelievable, but true. My question to the reader is, why have things changed so dramatically from my growing-up years to now? My memories from the 1950s seem light years re

"I used to think “rejoice always” meant even in the heaviest of sadness I should fake my way to happiness and pretend everything is OK. I don’t think that anymore. I now believe what it might imply is we can receive a spirit of joy in all things. Rejoicing isn’t something we force; rather, it is given to us in the midst of our sadness. Maybe it is meant to come alongside tears and pain, to give us the strength to endure these hard things."

Thanks be to God that I was pulled from the miry pit of the world. He is the One who gives life. He is the light of the world. God the Father, giving His Son to us for our salvation, is by far the best Christmas gift anyone could be given. Jesus is the way, the truth and the life.
