Well, hello there. I hope you are doing well. Yes, yes, it’s been a good while since I’ve written. A grievous offense in blogdom. Allow me to give you the cliff notes edition of my last few months. I have not really wanted to write about it until now. I had a wonderful job in [...]
What I’ve been doing

God orders our steps. That phrase pretty much sums up this Tuesday. This day was too full of events that even a non-believer couldn’t discount it as random or chance. I had a serious time of pleading with the Lord today. I needed Him to meet some pretty specific needs and asked Him to make [...]

Tears sting my eyes as I watch the news segment on Steven Curtis Chapman’s family. I cannot imagine the grief that has over-taken them at this time. May we pray for them not just through this weekend, but in the weeks and months to come as they adjust to a different life. And most of [...]
