Through His Strength, For His Glory

Internet Friends

     Every day of the year is now celebrating something. Some hold way more meaning to me than others. At this time last year, Internet Friend's Day had no meaning for me. I am grateful for being able to sustain real life friendships with people who I am unable to see often. But actual friends that I have not met, just communicated with on the Internet? Ha! Who does that? Now, it is a completely different story. One almost impossible to explain. One that still sounds a little - or a lot - crazy ... read more

Be Kind, Really

So many things compete against kindness. The desire for power. The desire to be right. The need to feel important. Lack of thinking our words and actions through and considering how they will make others feel. Almost everything we say or do has an impact on someone else.

Listen, I'm going to be honest, this book review comes with a story that is going to sound just plain crazy. In many ways, it kinda is crazy.

When author's publish a book, they need for ... read more

Faith Like Job – Guest Blogger

When I learned that there was a day to celebrate the lives of infants and babies who were lost to their parents, I was deeply touched. While I have never experienced this heartbreak personally, I know many who have. People whom I love, people whom I admire, people who matter. My first thought was of my precious friend, Alyssa Crouch who had only shared her loss about a year ago. I asked her if she would write out her experience for my readers. I know that you will love her, her testimony, and ... read more

Five Minute Friday – Doubt

    Doubt gets a bad rap. It is thought of as the opposite of belief, and belief is shining example of all that we are supposed to do and be as Christians. Rather than opposite, in my life, doubt has been the beginning of true belief. Doubt acknowledges that there are questions that cannot be answered easily. Doubt is an honest struggle with what we believe to be true and what reality looks like all around us. Doubt is saying to God, “I don’t get it. How does this (whatever this is) line up with ... read more
