  • Rejection

    Sometimes life’s disappointing cuts have caused me unbearable pain. I have cried out in agony, begging for relief. But the hurt lingers on sometimes for days, months, even years. We have all felt the pain of betrayal, rejection or disappointment. The hurt is real, the pain intense. We wonder, why? How? But even if we… Read more

The type of book that… Read more

    At Church we are corporately studying “The Purpose Driven Life.” I have read the book before but during this reading my spirit has been opened to God and my relationship to him in a brand new light. Maybe it’s because I don’t have a hundred other distractions in my life at this point and time… Read more

    “Never did I think this would be my wardrobe of choice,”  Miranda said as she slipped the clergy robe over her cotton spring dress. She knew the clergy robe would get hot, so she wanted to make sure she did everything she could to remain cool. Heat affected her speech and she didn’t want any… Read more
