Spiritual Impact of Pretend People by Kristen Heitzmann
“If travail has a purpose, let me find it now. If honor needs a taker, O Lord me endow. If wisdom is a garment, let me wear it well: if goodness needs a champion, help me dark dispel.” ~ Quillan Shepard … Continue reading
Don’t Make Me Cry by Elizabeth Goddard
When I’m reading a good book, I’m sorry, but I don’t want to cry. Except isn’t that the sign that a book is good? When the tears come on? Don’t misunderstand, I still want a good book to bring on the … Continue reading

Perseverance by Tara Randel
Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. James 1:2-3 I recently started a Bible study on the book of James. Right … Continue reading

The Resonating Quote by Julie Arduini
Last week our pastor gave a sermon that not only had great principles, but even a statement that seemed off the cuff. It’s still resonating with me, a week or so later. “You can hang on, or move on.” I … Continue reading

Love For the Rest of Our Lives by Hannah Alexander

Two neighbor children, a four-year-old boy and a two-year-old girl, ride their bicycles that have no pedals. I watch them from my upstairs office window as they ride along the street that’s fairly level. They push with their feet and … Continue reading
Writers and Their Ilk by Maureen Lang
