Happy New Year’s Eve Eve! In two days, it will be 2025. A new year with no mistakes in it. Tomorrow has no mistakes in it. The next 5 minutes have no mistakes in them. The next 3 seconds have no mistakes in them. Your new manuscript, which you have not started yet,...
At 14, I felt a gentle prompting from God that I would someday become an author. It wasn't a dramatic revelation, but a quiet assurance that, if I remained faithful, He would guide me on that path (Philippians 1:6). Now, at 28, that dream is becoming a reality. My...
The crisp winter air tweaks my nose as I admire the glow of my town’s twinkling lights. Everywhere I look, I see Christmas trees, bright-eyed children, and outdoor Nativity scenes. The Christmas season fills me with warmth, like a long-forgotten promise of joy being...
