  • She's broken, desperately needs what she doesn't know or have, and he needs what God has for him.  Seeing . . . a love story.    Father, thank you for giving me inspiration I never knew I'd write about in so many of my stories. Thank you is never enough. In the Name of Jesus,…

  • Strong winds were to occur Tuesday in late afternoon. They started earlier than expected and are supposed to last well into the middle of the night.

  •   Who doesn't love this song?! I love it. So much. Great musicians, great lyrics, perfect voice for it. Love it!    Father, you've given us such beauty and allowed us to indulge it. What a gift. Thank you is never enough. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
