I broke my toe last week. Owie! It's not the first time. I've broken my little toe twice before, once on my left foot, once on my right. The first time I was living and teaching in Siberia (Russia) and on the road with a group of college students to a conference in Ukraine in the … Continue reading Little Toes and Healing Prayer

No Matter How We Hurt Ourselves
Scripture Verse "'Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. Or what man is there among you who, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone?

They lived in Alabama, along with much of the rest of my family at that time. There's something amazing … Continue reading Someone Talked to Them

They’re My Family Too
I've been depriving myself all these years. I have an entire family line that I've never recognized as my family. My mom's dad left when she was two and her brother was a baby. She never forgave him. All I ever knew growing up was that we didn't speak about him, as if he didn't … Continue reading They’re My Family Too
