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.…
My fiftieth birthday is looming. In about two and a half weeks, I’ll be half a century old. This has been weighing on me a bit. Usually, I don’t think twice about getting older. I feel like the lessons I’ve learned over the years have been well-received and that God has always blessed me with…
Then Jesus said to him, “Get up! Pick up your mat and walk.” ~ John 5:8 NIV~ About fifteen years ago, I suffered an injury that kept me down for about two months. If you know me, you know that I don’t like not being able to do things for myself. I don’t like being sick,…

Sometimes it takes years of trial and error and long…
Do not speak evil of one another, brethren. He who speaks evil of a brother and judges his brother, speaks evil of the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge. ~ James 4:11 NKJV~ The word of the day seems…
So it was, year by year, when she went up to the house of the Lord, that she provoked her; therefore she wept and did not eat. ~1 Samuel 1:7 NKJV~ It doesn’t always trip me up the way it did today. The memory of losing baby after baby no longer hangs over me…
