Day 22 of 31 Days of Connecting Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all […]
How God Cared for Me
Day 20 of 31 Days of Connecting The other day, in a fit of exhaustion, I posted a link to my sermon on trusting God. I promised that part of my story (which starts here) is part of the sermon… and it is. But since I know most people do not have 30+minutes to listen to […]

“Praying Our Goodbyes” – Words of Wisdom
Day 9 of 31 Days of Connecting Thank you all for your encouraging words concerning my recent posts. It’s healing for me to finally write about it – I’m overjoyed that God is using it to heal you as well. When I began to grieve, I realized quickly that I needed help. Because I had shoved […]
