I got really good soil. I decided to use all of the seeds to give myself a … Continue reading Harvest What You Plant →

Opportunity for Trust

Too often lately it seems like the sky is falling. You’ve been there, right? We each have seasons that seem more trying than others.

Inwardly Groan

I have a black Labrador Retriever who is now thirteen and I have learned that this age brings with it the groans.

Sweet Perfume

I have a very sensitive nose so there are particular perfumes and colognes that cause me to sneeze and some even kick in my asthma.

A Grand Return

Almost a year ago I sat down to write about Daniel 3:18. When I write, there are two different ways that I begin.
