The Beautiful Word Bible giveaway

It’s somewhat ironic, don’t you think, that I would have a stack of these Bibles—just begging for someone to come along with colorful writing implements and a love for drawing—as my right arm is immobilized for at least five weeks for surgery to repair a torn biceps tendon? Yeah....... More »

Don’t do it

Don’t ever fall into the trap of believing that God won’t come through because of your current (or past) failings. Or that what you have to offer isn’t enough. ~Praying Upside Down Remember this: Nothing can separate us from the love of God. Nothing. Romans 8:38-39 in the NIV...... More »

Turns out, she lives near where my daughter Anna goes to school in Wisconsin. And attends the church...... More »

This optical illusion—the faces and/or chalice—is one that’s featured in the book. (But you’ll have to wait until then to read the whole...... More »

Technical difficulties

Sorry for the silence the last couple of weeks. My RSS feed (an information stream created by my blog) was broken—something so abstract and technological that I was thoroughly stumped until I finally found someone to help. But it be fixed again. Yea! Since no emails went...... More »
