I don’t worry when I’m watching a television series because I know there is an author. When I’m watching or reading a story, it’s all about if I trust the author or not. For my stories, I want readers to trust me. I only write happy endings with worthwhile lessons along the way. I love... Continue Reading →
Facelift!
Two of my books, Silvyn's Tale and The Beauty and the Throne have updated covers!

I love the changes! Silvyn's... Continue Reading →
Escaping the Houdini Handcuffs of Depression, Anxiety, and Suicidal Thoughts
All right, I know those little bamboo thingies people use as gag gifts are actually called Chinese finger traps, but I’ve always called them Houdini handcuffs, probably because of a certain cartoon that showed the skeleton of Harry Houdini and a finger trap on his index fingers as if it was the one thing he...

The River: An Analogy
Imagine all the people of the world are in a giant river with banks too steep to climb. The banks are the Law given through Moses, the Old Covenant. Everyone falls short. No one is “good enough” to climb out on their own. Some people in the river can swim and think they are doing... Continue Reading →
God is a Person
Imagine there were no men in the world, only women. (No wisecracks, please.) What if there were one woman who had a husband, the only man on planet Earth… How would she describe him to her companions? She could describe his physical features. Perhaps she could describe his biological makeup and its differences to women’s.... Continue Reading →
Why My Sin?
Why does God allow me to keep on being sinful? I don't think I'm the only one who has ever asked that. I love Jesus. I want to give Him my all and my best, and I want my all to BE my best. But it isn't. Not even close. My all includes all this... Continue Reading →

a prayer of humility to the sovereign God

Faith of the Blind
God, it's hard to see Your compassion in the midst of suffering sometimes. It's hard to see Your tenderness in the midst of torment. It's hard to trust in Your love sometimes when You tell Satan yes and we don't understand why, and even when we do. It's hard to believe in Your sovereignty and... Continue Reading →
