The Warning Before the Earthquake
Blessings Family, Thank you so much for all your prayers! I felt my spirit lift shortly after my last post. God is good. And faithful! He gave me such a wonderful dream that night of being surrounded by friends praying and laying hands on me! The presence of The Holy Spirit was so thick, I […]
Alone on the Mountain: Please Pray for Me
Blessings Friends, I hope you are all enjoying 2014. I’m asking for prayer. I’ve been fighting a cold since the day after Christmas, and now my little one has the bug. I just haven’t been able to curb her kissy face! But my biggest struggle this year, believe it or not, has been my season […]
Climbing the Mountain: The Risk and Reward of Reaching the Summit
Blessings Friends, For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.—Romans 1:20 I was watching a program about mountain climbing one evening. One of the climbers was talking about the effects of high altitudes on […]
The Color of Forgiveness
Blessings Friends, I had an interesting talk with the Holy Spirit the other day. As He moved silently through the space between sleep and wakefulness, I became aware of His presence. With Him came a flowing flag or cloth of green. I then became aware that there was a color for every “attribute” of God, […]
Life Imitating Art, or God-speak?
Blessings Friends, Oscar Wilde once said, “Life imitates art far more than art imitates life.” Seeing the out-of-this-world technology on the original TV series, Star Trek, become reality has certainly raised a few eyebrows. But, what if it weren’t merely “imitation.” Think about it. Somehow, out of the blue, these fantastical creations took shape in […]
Hearing From God: My Summer of Pressing In
Blessings Friends, It was a whirlwind summer with two writers conferences, PNWA in Seattle, and OCW in Portland, and a Bible conference, The Season of the Open Door in Spokane. My manuscript, Watch God Work [Published as Loved So Much, It Hurts], was well received at both conferences, and I have five agents and an editor […]
Success Guaranteed!
Blessings Friends, I’ve heard it said that if you want to be successful, you should follow in the footsteps of successful people. Whether it’s in business, finances,writing, athletics, or any other area in life, you can’t go wrong if you find someone who has achieved the pinnacle of success in that area, and do what […]
Dying to Live
Blessings Friends, Spring is here, and new life is bursting all around us. In fact, the blossoms are already giving way to new fruit. Have you ever considered that this new life wouldn’t be possible without death? So it is with new life in Christ. Jesus told his disciples in John 12:24, “Very […]
What’s So Great About Easter?
Blessings! Easter is upon us once again, which begs the question, why do Christians make such a big deal about Easter? With all their special services, and dinners . . . isn’t it just a celebration of spring? Why can’t they be happy with chocolate bunnies and egg hunts, like the rest of the world? […]
October Baby–A Must See Movie
Blessings Friends, I just watched the most powerful movie I’ve seen since The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. Filmed in 2011, it’s called October Baby and stars Rachel Hendrix, Jason Burkey, and John Schneider. Beautifully filmed and acted, October Baby is a moving story of forgiveness and redemption. It is intended for mature audiences (PG-13) […]
