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 …
Remembering friend and writer Diann Hunt
In the Christian writing community, we lost a friend and great author to cancer. Diann Hunt met Jesus face-to-face November 29th. Diann was the author of over 15 books, a loving wife and mom, and grandma. Friend. I can’t remember meeting Di. She seemed to just come into my life about ten years ago. I think we met in an …
The Worship Part of Me
Maybe some of you don’t know, but I’m not just a writer. Gasp! I’m also a worship leader. Growing up, I liked music but I never loved music. I liked musical groups. You could say I loved musical groups. Okay, I loved Donny Osmond. There I said it. I just don’t have many memories of loving to sing or loving …
Be Devoted To Prayer

Just As I Am. Without One Plea
Yesterday I pulled a couple of old church songs. Holy, Holy, Holy and Just As I Am. I was a bit surprised to hear the younger members of the worship team had never heard Just As I Am. Which means they’ve never heard or seen a Billy Graham Crusade. One of the 20th Century’s greatest preachers lost to this generation. …

Have You Decorated For Fall?
In Florida, fall is a hard season. Because we don’t really have a fall. Today was in the low 80s. Tomorrow more of the same. Trees still flourish with green leaves. They won’t change until late November or December. The evenings are cooling off. Tonight is supposed to be a chilly 65. Brrrr! This year it doesn’t feel like fall …
