Humble
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…

ACFW 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.

The 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…
