The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance [to the full, till it overflows].John 10:10 AMPI find myself returning to this verse time and again because it reminds me of a vital truth for believers — God has called us to a life of abundance not scarcity!From the very beginning our enemy has wanted us to believe that God is not telling us the truth, that He doesn't really love us, that He doesn't really want us to ...

My One Rule for Quarantine
When Casiday was little I always told her she only had one rule — obey. As long as she obeyed us, she would be doing what she was expected to do. It simplified things a lot also.

The 4 Ps of Lopsided Living during the Holidays

I can't even begin to put into words what it was like to see a dream God placed deep in my heart come to fruition — 90 women sitting around tables with Bibles open, spending a day studying Colossians. It was so beautiful. I'm sure I'll write more about it when I reach the point I can even think about it without crying. We're already working ... [Read More]
Book Review: Why Her? by Nicki Koziarz
So one of my favorite parts of this writing/blogging thing is the opportunity to review books. It's a great gig — publishers send you free books and you get to tell the world what you think. A few months ago, I requested a book I'd been wanting to read, Why Her? 6 Truths We Need to Hear When Measuring Up Leaves Us Falling Behind. The book arrived from the lovely folks at B&H Publishing a few days later and I anxiously opened it up to start reading. I made it to page twelve before I ... [Read More]
