The Peace of Christ – My 9/11 Testimony
On the 10th anniversary of 9/11, I was asked to share my testimony in church. I had only recently received healing through an inner healing ministry session, and so I felt able to share. Following is the draft from which I gave my presentation. ***** For 10 years, I worked across the street from the … Continue reading The Peace of Christ – My 9/11 Testimony

Beautiful
For a couple months, I've been facing something that is so hard. I feel paralyzed every time I think about it. I've crawled through years of trauma, one thing after another. Not only did Jesus bring me through it all; he began to turn things around and restore me. I finally reached a place of … Continue reading Beautiful
For the New Year
Someone asked me yesterday if I made a New Year's Resolution. I'm not into "resolutions" but I do have one burning desire for 2010: for God to help me turn my focus completely to Him. The past decade I've had major losses. Seems I barely find my footing and there's another huge loss. Don't get … Continue reading For the New Year

Just Stand
Ephesians 6:13 (NIV) says: “Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.” What struggles have you been through lately? So many folks I know are going through one challenge after another. … Continue reading Just Stand
His Strength in Me
I think one reason it's so easy for me to write novels is that my life reads like one. When I think of all the different kinds of trauma and crisis I've been through; my life reads like a work of fiction. How could any one person deal with so much! All the "big things" that psychologists … Continue reading His Strength in Me
