Confront The Giant I try very hard not to write random blogposts. I like to wait for Holy Spirit to deliver the message or the title or something HE wants me to write. So, this week I was listening to Joyce Meyer on a quick IGTV video and she said something like, “David didn’t stand… [Read More]

We Are Anchors
Remove the Mask I read a beautiful post this morning on a friend’s blog; a post from a woman who suffered a great depression due to many life-changes within a one-year period. It was a wide-open post – the writer left nothing out! She exposed herself! As I left a comment I found myself typing these… [Read More]
Meet Flo
Meet Flo But as He went, the multitudes thronged Him. 43 Now a woman, having a flow of blood for twelve years, who had spent all her livelihood on physicians and could not be healed by any, 44 came from behind and touched the border of His garment.

It’s a hard one to write and I know I’m supposed to write it because it was confirmed, first-hand, at the Dollar General this past Saturday morning. However, the Spirit of God dropped this… [Read More]

How do we even begin to process such a crime? As Christians our first response, after perhaps a few, “Why Lord, why?” should be to bow… [Read More]
the 21
When I close my eyes or stare out the window on this snowy day, I see them. Orange jumpsuits kneeling on the shore. Black-masked men standing behind them.
