Wars are fought for different reasons. Some are power struggles. Others are for rescue or to make a change. Wars are fueled by one thing…hatred.

An Earnest Plea
Isaiah paused before he pushed the palace door open and looked up. “Why, LORD? He’s such a good king.” He walked in and was led to the king’s bedroom. Hezekiah’s face was pale. Sweat drenched his hair as he shivered. Isaiah swallowed. “Set your affairs in order. The LORD declares that you shall die from… Continue reading An Earnest Plea
The Last Week of 2017 was Interesting
Here we are again. Another calendar needs to be replaced because it is all used up. I can relate. I just hope I’m not replaced, too. My 2017 was filled with challenges, heartbreak and sadness balanced by laughter, creativity and friendship. As I was seeing my rear view of the past twelve months slip away… Continue reading The Last Week of 2017 was Interesting
Called to Fail
Where am I? Who is that sitting on a throne? His robe is incredible. It’s filling every part of the floor. Those beings over the throne…who are they? Why do they have wings…six wings on each one?

Short-term 2nd Chance Successes
Jonah awoke with a sharp pain on his leg. He reached down and groped his right shin. He pealed off what must have been a section of octopus tentacle. “Lord, how much longer must I suffer like this? I’m sorry for running. I know it was foolish of me. Nobody can win against You. Please… Continue reading Short-term 2nd Chance Successes
The Holidays are Hard
A writer’s life is fraught with challenges. Like properly using the word fraught in a sentence to lead off a blog post. If God chooses you to write for His glory don’t expect an easy life. If your life was cozy before your call it will be turned upside down after your call. The reason… Continue reading The Holidays are Hard
Thank You Father
Gratitude, gratefulness, thanksgiving…all themes with the same goal. Appreciation for what we have over desires for what we want. Sounds good, so why is so hard to keep it in practice? Just some thoughts to ponder during this holiday week. I’m sharing another poem I wrote a couple of years ago for Thanksgiving. It doubles… Continue reading Thank You Father
The Fruit of the Spirit Prayer
Today I’m sharing with you the compilation prayer that ends the chapter of the Fruit of the Spirit from my book 100 Prayers of a Writer. I’m very pleased how well this prayer came together. I find myself needing its message frequently. Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience,… Continue reading The Fruit of the Spirit Prayer
