A long time ago someone came into my life. It was like they were dancing on a cloud with glitter droplets sprinkling where they walked. It was as if they had rays of light emanating from within. I was mesmerized and enchanted. As I glided across the ice rink where we met, I was happier…

When I first heard about the Lord’s plans succeeding, and not my own, I wondered. How could that be when he’s given us brains and the ability to make decisions.

For years, I had thought about something. Hoped for it. Waited to see if it could work out. Then today I discovered that it just cannot happen. It did involve others, so it did depend on their free will. I know there is a reason beyond the obvious why this wasn’t going to take place.…

Earlier in my journey with Jesus, I understood being creative as Intuitive Botanical, and as an Abstract Realist visual artist, a writer, and a singer-songwriter, as all I was meant to do in this life. Yes, I will always be an artist, a writer, and a singer, but now the Holy Spirit has let me…

Who would have thought that the Bible could help us with the things we eat? Well, it does. Today I was putting off running an errand to take care of some business. I knew if I did this one thing, I would in turn have to something that felt a bit more difficult. I don’t…
