Little By Little
I remember what is was like looking at published authors. They seemed to have everything together … and I seemed so lost on God’s plan for me. I’ve been looking back at old journals and it helps to remember how far God has brought me. Maybe this will also encourage those of you who are…
Learning to Love Books
“…When I was old enough to check out books from our school library I discovered more stories at my fingertips, but they seemed very limited compared to the books at grandma’s house. When grandma started to let me choose one book per month from her books-by-mail library program, I could hardly believe my luck. One…
Chris’ Essay
As I turned, stated my final good byes, and watched the departure of my ride, I felt an eerie chill run down my spine, not so much of fear, but also of excitement. I inhaled a deep breath, trying to rid my brain of the prodding bombardments of this fearful nature. I entered a room…

Pressure and Time
And we, who with unveiled faces all reflet the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit. 2 Corinthians 3:18 NIV Have you ever stopped to consider how our lives as Christians are comparable to the life of a diamond? It…
Tuna and Soybean Sandwich???
Never heard of it? Don’t want to try it? Well, neither did I until I read my tuna label. Allergy Warning: Tuna and SOYBEANS! (Duh! It is a can of tuna!) I must admit I thought they mashed up soybeans in my tuna until I started typing this email and realized that the soybeans were…
