I am Saul

In: Faith, Uncategorized on: November 12, 2015

I feel sorry for the people in the Bible who have had their shortcomings preserved for the world to read, because when we read them, we tend to judge, don't we? It's much easier for us to recognize where those people went …

One of My Favorite Truths

In: Faith on: October 15, 2015

Life Lessons from Surfers

In: Faith, Family on: October 1, 2015

The week of Labor Day, I went on a business trip with my husband. To southern California. It was awesome. The view. The weather. The sound of the surf on the sand. But maybe the most significant thing that happened to me on …

"The Work of His Hands: a novelette”

Bea wants nothing more than to go to college and learn more about the world God created. Her mother even left money in trust for her to do so. She only wishes her father supported her dream. But when Papa gets into financial trouble in the young town of Fort Worth, Texas, Bea must decide what is more important—her education or her father's well-being. Can she trust the God of creation to make something beautiful of her life?”

Along with the story you’ll receive my newsletter updates as well.
