Trust in the Lord with All Your Heart!
I recently had the opportunity to speak at a retreat. The theme for the weekend was "Walking with God." As I pondered how to narrow down such a broad subject, I finally settled on a scripture that has upheld me during many uncertain seasons in my life: Proverbs 3:5-6....
A Christmas Miracle: God’s Extravagant Love
A few years ago, I wrote a blog post about God's extravagant love. I reminisced about my experience one December when my boss and his wife treated the office staff to an afternoon of pure extravagance. Each of us enjoyed a massage, a manicure, and a facial--along with...
