Jonah and Me
Have you ever said NO to God? I have. Many times, in fact. Fear and lack of bravery holds me back far too often. One time in particular sticks out in my memory as a Jonah experience…here’s what I wrote two years ago about… Continue Reading “Jonah and Me”
Urgency in Your Singleness
Singleness can be a lot of different things. It can mean a whole varied group of feelings and opportunities. At times we can call our singleness words that are warm and good and kind to us. Other times singleness can mean things like ALONE or… Continue Reading “Urgency in Your Singleness”
Guaranteed to Win
Victory doesn’t always look like we’d like it to. It’s crazy actually…that I want victorious living to look cookie-cutter perfect. Easy. Natural. Anything but hard. The longer I live, the more I realize that victory is both simple and difficult. Simple because Jesus has… Continue Reading “Guaranteed to Win”
Then there’s Jesus
Yesterday morning I was sitting in front of 200 female inmates facilitating a seminar (with my friend, MaryEllen) about Jesus and the Word of God. Many of these women are newly incarcerated. Raw. Emotional. Hopeless. As I looked over the faces of those women… Continue Reading “Then there’s Jesus”

The True Gospel
My personal study lately has found me in the book of Galatians and I have found myself basking in the beauty of the Gospel. This study has also brought up something else for me: the “other” gospel. Paul refers to it multiple times throughout… Continue Reading “The True Gospel”
How Hungry are You?
The air seemed different behind prison walls. More sterile in a way. I stood there waiting behind the first gate, waiting for that distinct buzzing sound so I could move through the next one. Everything looked different from the “free” world. Lots of uniformed… Continue Reading “How Hungry are You?”
My Battle Cry for 2018
“Remember the Alamo!” It was the statement that was shouted in the middle of the iconic battle in San Antonio, Texas. Those words gave a reason to fight. A focus-point when all around them was crumbling. Battle cries are important. They become fuel for… Continue Reading “My Battle Cry for 2018”
