One of my son's best friends recently signed a multi-million dollar deal to play a sport in his final year of college. He even had his picture and name on a billboard in Times Square. Of course, we are thrilled for his success, and we pray that he will be a light for the Lord …
The Contradiction of Sinners
Happy 2026, my friends! I hope your year is off to a great start, and you have made some commitments that are helping you form healthy new routines. For those of you who are sticking to a new Bible reading schedule, I am praying that you stay faithful and that it becomes your new …
A Fixed Hope
Hope There is always something about reading the final chapters of Revelation in the days leading up to the new year that reignites my momentum for what is ahead. This year, I enjoyed looking back to the beginning of my Scripture journal to see how His Word shaped my thinking throughout 2025. In January of …
A Christmas Gift from Me to You
I am so thankful for anyone who takes the time to read, comment, like, and share my labor of love from this blog. On Facebook this year, I have been hosting a KJV Bible Study, and the last month's study has been Philippians. This study has truly challenged and convicted me about how I handle …

With nearly monthly regularity, there was another difficult struggle to record. I will spare you the details because there is …
Beautiful Women of Faith: Faltering, yet Finding Him Faithful

Nostalgia looks at the regrets and joyful memories of the past; hope sees how God will work it all together to shape this young woman's own journey of faith. No mother can automatically pass on her faith. She can only …

Beautiful Women of Faith: The Prayer that Revived a Nation
And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed unto the Lord, and wept sore. And she vowed a vow, and said, O Lord of hosts, if thou wilt indeed look on the affliction of thine handmaid, and remember me, and not forget thine handmaid, but wilt give unto thine handmaid a man child, then …
