Read MoreHumble
Proverb 29:23 “A man’s pride will bring him low, But the humble in spirit will retain honor.” Humble is not a word I’d use to describe myself. Confident, insecure, teachable, stubborn, though contradictory at times, they better describe the real me. I admire the humble in spirit. Many great men of the Bible were humble…

Read MorePride! Can You Relate?
1 John 2:16, 17 “For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.”…

Reprinted with permission Gina and Mary at ACFW Someone I respect in the publishing business recently made this statement: Publishing doesn’t validate your life. How true.

From laughter to tears, from education to building relationships, ACFW Dallas had it all. Worship was incredible. The spirit of…
Read MoreWhy?
I think the most dreaded word in the English language is the word WHY? Why you ask? Well, most of our unanswered questions from God start with the word why. Go ahead, take a moment to ask your own why question of God. So, did you get an answer? Maybe you did, but chances are…
Read MoreACFW in a Word
For the next week I will be summarizing my experience at ACFW in a word a day. This year’s conference had a totally different feel for me than the last two conferences I attended since I began pursuing publication in fiction. Stories from a Freshman Both at Glorietta 2004 and ACFW Nashville 2005, I went…
Read MoreThe Hike
My son, Nathan, was commenting the other day about his two hamsters. “Mom, they have totally unique personalities. One is calm and likes to be held, the other is wild and always on the go. ” “Just like kids,” I responded. “No two are exactly the same.” Or should I say no “three,” because I…
Read MoreLifting Your Hands
© Staci Stallings It’s sad how difficult we make being a Christian. We do it to ourselves and to each other by putting rules and conditions on ourselves once we’re saved. Before we’re saved, we’re told, “You can’t do it. Jesus is your salvation.” After we’re saved, we’re told, “Okay, here’s the rules. You can…
