Writer Of My Story
In Hebrews 12:2, Jesus is called the author and finisher of our faith. Day by day, He is writing my life’s story. Not every chapter is necessarily pleasant, but He truly knows what is best!

The Way Of Suffering
Sometimes it is God's will for us to suffer some things, but He always has a good reason for allowing it. May we continue to walk in trust during difficult times.

I was reading one day about some different poetry forms and came across the mini monoverse. It seemed simple but complex at the same time. I decided to try it using the fall and redemption of man as my theme.

Dirty Hands Clean Money

I am forever grateful for the day that Jesus called me out of darkness and into His marvelous light!

Not Up For Election
I wrote this shortly after our last presidential election. God will always be God, whether we believe in Him or not. It’s impossible to vote Him out!
