The other day, I was moving firewood from the backyard to our patio so we would have some dry firewood for this chilly weekend. As I was moving, of course I got a splinter in my thumb immediately.

Recently, I was pressing in for a healing, an emotional healing. I was searching out healing for a very old wound. One that I had lived with for so long that I had forgotten the original cause. So what did God do? After a time of pressing and, yes, a fast, it was revealed when... Continue Reading →

This past weekend my family and I spent putting together a puzzle. I severely dislike putting together puzzles, but it was the only cheap, non-going outside, non-watching TV activity I could think of to do with my family.
