I’m sitting in my house watching a torrential downpour of rain outside that is flooding my backyard. Inside I’m facing a similar torrential outpouring of tears as I ponder what God has been trying to teach me in recent weeks. Three months into recovery from a severe depression during which I considered taking my own …
Rest, Relax, Just Be
I’ve spent much time over the past three months trying to figure out how I am to “live for Christ”, “walk in the Spirit”, trust the Lord, etc. without doing anything.

Remembering Mom
(Today is the first anniversary of my Mother's death. I have officially been an earth orphan for one year. I thought I would share with you what I shared with our church last year as part of our Thanksgiving service.) 1 Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through …
