God gave me the best illustration!Ok, so some (most) of our backgrounds are a bit shady, or tumultuous. Definitely not made of the stuff you want to pass along to anybody! Perhaps you are thinking that you are just a nobody--no one particularly special. Yeah, yeah, so were the disciples, if you will--a bunch of… Continue reading Be Like Fireflies
Do you have a "firestarter" in your spirit? You know, something that can easily ignite the kindling of shame, guilt, and accusation that the enemy has so carefully laid? Firestarter=the lies that pile up, the beliefs you base all your self-loathing on, the guilt that eats away at you. Dearest friend, that's the enemy at… Continue reading Firestarter
If you had known me for the last several decades, you would know that I've walked though some pretty deep valleys. There has been an awful lot of loss in my life.

I’m a pretty independent sort. Even as a preschooler I would take care of myself without “bothering” my… Continue reading Without Jesus It’s All Downhill
