As I sit here in the hospital room awaiting the news from the doctor and watching my brother-in-law breathe by way of a ventilator and eat by way of a tube through his nose, I can’t help but be reminded of how fleeting life really is. A breath…a vapor. After…
I’ve heard it said that growing old is not for sissies, but neither is writing. Although my first book is due out in August and I haven’t really been writing for very long, one thing I’ve learned about submitting a manuscript is that it’s important to do what they say.…
O God, You are my God; I shall seek You earnestly; My soul thirsts for You, my flesh yearns for You, In a dry and weary land where there is no water. Psalm 63:1 We’re a strange breed…the human race. We want God to fix all our problems, but we…
I have a confession to make. When I was growing up I wanted to be Wonder Woman. Not the comic strip character, but the Lynda Carter-television-style Wonder Woman. It took me a few years, but I have decided that Wonder Woman, I am not. I’ve tried to do it all,…

When I was first saved I remember talking to women who seemed to have the “prayer thing” down. They had lists, books and plans for prayer. I was intrigued and inspired, but I really needed someone who could help me understand prayer better. From the pulpit, I heard messages about…
