I really miss the days when someone would give you information and you were permitted to make up your own mind as to whether or not what they told you had any value or credence. Today, much of what you’re presented with has already been sifted through and “cleaned up” for your consumption. This, evidently…
I was thinking back, as I sometimes do, to the days when I used to be more easily sidetracked by the notion of being in love. It completely ruined me. Made me look stupid and unhinged to people who would otherwise have thought I had my head on straight. If you had occasion to run…
Over the last few weeks I attempted to share some of the news I’d heard from various sources here on this blog. I wanted to find a way to use this platform to inform those who might not necessarily have time to dig into all of the information that is out there. After spending quite…
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.…
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…
Today, Rebecca, God wants you to know that to love is to be vulnerable. Love is the opening of the heart, the welcoming of your beloved. Loving is not secure, authentic loving is risky. Security lies behind the walls of a closed heart. You either invite the union by opening in love, or you secure the…
I recently received an email from one of the many podcasters/educators that I listen to as a resource for my publishing business. In the subject line, the title said something like, “How to make more (expletive) money!” My first thought was, “How tacky?” and my second thought was, “When did we get to a place…
This past week was challenging. I have a lifelong habit of not being able to ask for help when I need it. In fact, I tend to avoid showing weakness whenever possible. It’s not who I want to be. It’s not something that fits my personality or beliefs. While it’s fine to be someone who…
