Let me start here… A couple of years ago I started leading the worship song “Reckless Love” on Sunday morning. The song blew up and quickly became a favorite. While we sang with gusto, I sensed a hiccup when we belted out “overwhelming, never ending, reckless love of God.” Hold up… Is God reckless? Like, is He not in control. …
Prayer Is The Only Way Up
Sometimes people ask if I’d ever write a non fiction book. After all, I did major in journalism at the great Ohio State. But I loved writing features more than the hard news. I prefer to make things up rather than writing “just the facts.” When I was in journalism school, the facts were very important. I understand truth not critical …
You’re Not Crazy, You’re Super Menopausal Part 3
Originated with It’s Been A Year (Written in 2015. Read Part One Here. Read Part Two Here.) Well, I turned in How To Catch A Prince unfinished, with the last hundred pages rough draft. My publisher and editor offered peace and understanding, but in the end when we had to push the book out 3 months. I’d never done that …
You’re Not Crazy, You’re Super Menopausal Part 2
(Written in 2015. Read Part 1 Here.) It’s Been A Year Part II …. When we were last on this blog… I was struggling to write How To Catch A Prince (Starred review from Library Journal) After the initial crash and burn in the bathroom, I rested during the weekend and sort of rebounded during the week. I was feeling good …
Prayer for the President — Part Two
I’m not a fan of Barack Obama’s politics or policies. I am for small, limited federal government. Washington is a mess fiscally and morally. At the core, I don’t believe this President is a patriot. Nor do I believe he loves this country. Why? Because he’s what a friend of mine called a “third culture kid.” Barack spent his formative …
A Prayer For Our President — Part One
I was reading in Acts where Paul gets pulled in before the Sanhedrin. You know, the Jewish leaders didn’t like his testimony of Jesus. Here’s the skinny from Acts 23 verse 1- 5. “Paul, looking intently at the Council, said, “Brethren, I have lived my life with a perfectly good conscience before God up to this day.” 2 The high priest Ananias commanded those standing beside him …
Be Devoted To Prayer
I love this quote from Spurgeon. Because hidden in the layers is the true struggle of the Christian walk. Prayer. The apostle Paul continually admonished the Churches of the New Testament to pray. Yet, prayer meetings continues to be the least attended meetings in the modern church. I wonder how much we could do for our families and our country …
Why Should I Keep Praying?
My dear brother and friend Stuart Greaves shares truth and wisdom in the video.
An Invited Into Divine Partnership
When did it happen? Over time? Lack of understanding? The misgivings of powerful men? But we lost sight of something so dear and critical in our relationship with Jesus. Partnership. We see ourselves as only, merely, servants. We are servants, yes. Bondslaves, absolutely. But out of love and utter devotion. Completely surrendered. “Not my will, but Your’s be done.” But …
Light yoke, easy burden
By the fall of 1990, I’d been on the road for four years, traveling seventy percent of my time, installing computer systems and training newsroom and classified ad reps around the world. I’d been to Australia twice. Ireland, Spain, Venezuela three times (before Chavez, thank goodness,) Mexico, Canada, and traveled the U.S. from California to Maine. Two weeks in Mexico …
