The book of Esther is an odd one. Not because of the monumental message it brings about justice and courage, but because there is actually no mention of God throughout the entire book. No mention, yet we know He is all over the situation. Only God could bring things together the way that He does.…
It’s time, once again for us to look forward and plan out all of the wonderful things we’re going to accomplish in the New Year! I say this with only half of the required enthusiasm as my day consisted of researching issues that prevented me from publishing an e-book version of a new release and…
Christmas has always been my favorite holiday of the year. This year, however, I was burdeneded by a feeling of utter defeat and all of the joy that I usually feel at Christmas time sort of fluttered away. Thinking back over the past twelve months, it was a constant struggle in one way or another,…
I am a firm believer in the notion that what really matters is the thought and sentiment behind a gift. The idea that someone has tried and thought enough of you to bring you a gift means more than any amount of fancy packaging or branding could ever mean. I’ve never placed much stock in…
I’ve had a lot to think about this week. There were issues at work that I worried too much about. There were issues with projects that I almost let overtake me. There were difficulties with a hundred minor things that really worked on my nerves this week. But when I allow myself a moment to…

Over the last week, I’ve struggled with the issue of having a broken refrigerator and being at the mercy of my landlord to have it fixed or replaced. It’s just one of those annoying things that happens when…
I recently had someone ask me if I was married (again) yet and much to my chagrin, this made me think. I really don’t need to be married. I’m not waiting for a knight in shining armor to rescue me from some horrible existence as a single person. I have a king who rescues me…
Recently, I heard something that caused me to think a bit more than I wanted to. I watched a video that was sent to me and although I wanted to just disregard it, some of what was said made good sense. I didn’t agree with the whole thing, but there were a few valid points…
Today, I’m thinking about a few people that I know…or at least, used to know. For those who don’t know, I am the owner of a publishing company called Higher Ground Books & Media. To date, we have about 58 active authors whose books we have published. We’re an independent publisher, so these are individuals…
