A New Song for Spring
I love spring, when we’re awakened by birds chirping outside & the whole world turns a bright green. It reminds me of that scene in Cinderella when she wakes up with the birds, singing of better days ahead… Then I look out my OWN window & see God’s thumbprint on the ...

Cocoon to Butterfly: How God Transforms Us
Before I post Part 2 of “The Human Condition”, I want to post this incredible word of encouragement from a lovely Georgia lady named Judy Bauman. I’ve been receiving Judy’s “Jewels” (as she calls them) for several years, and they’ve encouraged me ...

My Word for 2013: “Ask”
Confession. I’ve totally jumped on the “Word of the Year” bandwagon, & I love it! If you’re new to this concept (like me last year), the idea is to choose 1 word at the beginning of each year to focus on for the next 12 months – a new spin on “New ...
