. . . but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.      You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you…

  Even though the picture is big, the "rant" is in small letters so as to indicate it's just a little one. Right?  Okay, here's the deal. I'm pleased to learn that several hundred Kindle copies of Race were acquired during the "Free" promotional offering. Hurray!  I'm less pleased to see that zero reviews have…

                      Valentine's Day. The day that makes men nervous and women hopeful. Romance. Love. And all the rest of it. Observed by the world.  But the source? God is love. (1 John 4:16) We love because he first loved us. (1 John 4:19). Puts a…

                               Yes, it's winter. There is still beauty.    Father, your touch is everywhere. We just need to look for it. Give us ears to hear and eyes to see. Apart from you, we can do nothing. In the Name of…

    You see they aren't just words on a page. They're imaginations come to life. And the innumerable original ways to tell the story are what captivate a reader.  Certain types of telling the tale fit one kind of story while a different method is perfectly designed to fit another. I'm reminded of Brandilyn…

  The picture above says it all about my favorite male protagonists: they can each be described as "all man". Meaning there's nothing metrosexual about them and you don't have to wonder about their masculinity. Masculinity is not a curse, it's a God-given blessing and "real" women appreciate "real" men.  So. Here are my favorite…

    (Apparently, you have to watch this on You Tube so here's the link.) I laughed out loud at some of this. So well done. So fun. Loved it.   Father, many of these are yours. May you bless them with a fuller knowledge of you and continue to give them a powerful and…
