The Most Rewarding Invitation Awaits
Hello friend, Welcome back to my porch here in northeast Louisiana. I'm just snagging a moment to reach out to you. Life keeps coming at full speed here and I'm sure you can say the same, but I love this community and I miss y'all when too much time gets away without connecting. So, let's catch up. On this side of the screen, the Beloved Farmer and
A Bit of Nonsense because #lifeisbetterwhenyourelaughing
Hey friends! I'm in an all out run this fine Monday morning trying to catch up from the road and the blessings of being able to speak at the Cowgirl Get Together conference this past weekend in Brownsboro, TX. The greatest blessings, and there were many, would hands down be the two souls I was privileged to pray with as they gave their hearts to
An update on that meaningful little Christmas…
Dear reader, You may recall my stated goal to "have myself a meaningful little Christmas." Well, grab a Christmas cookie and a comfy chair. Here's the rest of the story. Had you asked me how it was going this past Sunday, I would've said everything was right on track and progressing nicely. (Insert your favorite quote about the best laid plans.) The day before my extended
Have Yourself a Meaningful Little Christmas
The message fell into my heart weeks ago and stayed with me, “Have yourself a Meaningful Little Christmas.” I didn’t know what I was meant to do with it, but I determined to listen. I’ve learned if I’ll value God’s inside voice, He’ll elaborate. Granted, I recognized the gentle spin of the lyrics from the old Christmas classic. I’m not that dense. But any meaning beyond
COVER REVEAL!
It hit me like a ton of bricks! I revealed the cover of the new book on social media a full month ago now-- and I didn't share it with y'all. That's a HUGE fail on my side of the screen. I owe this community an apology. Forgive me. Please. Many of you have been with me for decades now and many of you have
Welcome back to the Story Table — Lend Me Your Ears, Friend
Hello friend, it's a beautiful evening here on the banks of Lake Providence, LA. The wet weather that's been hanging over us for a couple weeks now has finally broken. Thank you, Lord! The beloved farmer hasn’t made it in, but when he left at lunch he was hoping they’d be able to find a dry spot to kick #harvest2022 back off again. We’ll see.
Engaging the World
I wrote about coming home from the first ministry event of the 2022 speaking season here. But, I have a lot more to say about our stay at Orange Beach and what Father God is teaching me about engaging the world with the love of Christ. I share it with hopes that it can help you share your faith in the One true God, too!
To Bless Another is to Bless God Himself
Hello friend, God's word tells us to, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you
Secret Stuff and Jesus Stuffies!
Hello Dear Reader! Here I am back with another missive. It's literally feast or famine with me, isn't it? What can I say. Sometimes I just think of y'all and I know I've got to share. So, how about it? Wanna read some secret stuff? I haven’t cleared this with anyone (as in publisher and agent type people) but I’m gonna drop a few words
Happiest of New Year greetings to my reader family!
The week between Christmas and New Year’s is one of my favorite stretches of time. It’s like the best pause ever, offering anticipation without expectation, space to plan without the pressure of a to-do list. It’s my custom to spend the week leaning in and listening to Jesus direct me concerning the projects stirring in my heart for the year ahead. I was unable to
