You’re Being Followed
A few words from Awesome-hubs: I love to pray Psalm 23:6 over people. “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life;” The Hebrew word translated “follow” is very strong, meaning to “chase after”, usually used in the negative, as in a hunter on the trail of prey. God’s goodness and favor pursue us relentlessly. We …

Eternal Bank Account
It’s so easy to live in the moment. Forgetting the future and living for the present. It’s why saving money is so hard. Do you save for a rainy day or buy that new iPhone or new car?

Our last week in this house. We’re moving.

Beginning of Sorrows — A word from my Hubby
You Are Here… I was pondering three passages that describe the last days or beginning of sorrows. Understand that this isn’t the time of great tribulation spoken of in Revelation, but what immediately precedes that time, so even if you’re pre-trib, no one escapes these events. You can read them for yourself (Mt 14:4-12, 2 Tim 3:1-5, 2 Pe 3:3), …

Overcoming Writer’s Block
A Twitter friend asked me how to overcome writer’s block. So I thought I’d blog about reasons a writer might get blocked and ways to overcome this malady. 1. A lot of time I find writers get blocked because they haven’t done the character and plot work required to know where the story is going. I find I stall or …
Jesus Said, “Sell your possessions.”
Jesus, the greatest man, prophet and teacher of all time, and also God in the flesh, said this in Luke 14:33 “So then, none of you can be My disciple who does not give up all his own possessions.” The word possessions caught me. While I believe Christ followers are to be generous, givers, humble with their means, I don’t …
