A story to help you hang in there and not give up!
Hey friend! I'm knee deep in writing on the Gospel of John study I've mentioned to you before. My deadline is late August to turn it in to my publisher and I would love your prayer support as I write. But right now, I'm stopping to encourage YOU. Meet me in the video below and invite a friend to join us. God loves you and
Keeping Up with Jesus
Perhaps you're familiar with the quote, "Comparison is the thief of joy." I am. I've heard it many times, and yet I was surprised recently to discover that the first person it was ever attributed to was President Theodore Roosevelt. That was interesting trivia, at least to me. I suppose I thought the words were spoken by a preacher, or maybe a motivational speaker. And
Let me help you find your footing in this shaky world!
Ken Ken the Baby Friend’s expression has a lot to do with Honey, the all-important stuffy she’s clutching by the throat. The stuffy who was temporarily lost before he was found and led everyone to breathe a collective sigh of relief. Honey won’t always be able to provide the security Kennedy will need. We know this. You do too. We all know she’ll face days that
Deep Diving with the Apostle John
I’ve been in a deep dive with the Apostle John this summer. I’ve explored his gospel start to finish and I need to level with you: John has nothing to say about deconstructed faith. John doesn’t speak to the idea of anyone using human understanding to take their faith apart and build it back into something more comfortable because broken church people have disillusioned them.

Looking for Home
I pulled over to the shoulder and checked for cars before helping this fellow across the road earlier. I’m sure he was grateful, but he was in far too big a hurry to pause for a decent pic.

About those impossible things…
Is it a squash? Is it a cucumber? Is it a squashcumber! Ding,ding, ding! We have a winner! I know. I’ve done my research. I’m aware that every expert out there says this can’t happen. It’s totally okay to plant squash beside cucumbers because they can absolutely unequivocally under no circumstances cross pollinate. Except they did here on the banks of Lake Providence.

Chapter 13 of Sierra’s Story with Shellie’s Thoughts on Fallen Man, Flags, and Freedom
Hey friends! I hope life is treating you kindly. This week's newsletter is going to be brief. That dislocated finger I told y'all about last week turned out to be a bad fracture. I'm endeavoring to type with said finger buddy taped to the next one and enclosed in a hand brace. Tomorrow morning I'll find out if surgery is required. God is still good.
A Dangerous Faith
Hello friends, let's chat a spell
Who’s Stalking You?
Hey friends, I wanted to share some thoughts on staring down fear that I hope will encourage you. And I've got more on that news I mentioned in the last letter. Let's chat
Hopelessness Isn’t Your Portion
May I have a word with you, Miss Fearful? Have you never known the peace found in the refuge of God’s Presence that you can’t access it again? And you, dear Mr. Despondent, have you never known His cheer, that you should choose the company of your doldrums instead of turning your mind to His nearness? What say you, Believer All is Lost? Are you suggesting God
