Lent 2026, The Plan
I’m already into Day 3 of Lent and I’m just now telling you my plan. And it’s funny that I’m writing this as if I have a bunch of readers. Hello out there, whoever you are! Ok, so I’ve broken up Lent into 6 weeks, and I’ve given each week a theme (because I couldn’t…

40 Days!
40 days is a long time. 40 days is also significant. During the Flood, rain fell for 40 days and nights. Moses was on Mount Sinai with God for 40 days. The spies searched Canaan for 40 days. Goliath taunted Israel for 40 days before David killed him. Elijah traveled 40 days and nights to…

Lent 2026 Ash Wednesday
I did not grow up in church, but my family claimed to be Baptist. My family was destroyed when my mother died at 43 years old. The glue, the light, the joy, or whatever you call the magic that holds a family together died with her. My older sister turned to the occult to try…

Pouring Out
Since I was here last, I have been busy writing and teaching. Last summer, I finished writing and teaching a River University course on Old and New Testament Survey. I wrote a 30-day devotional called “It Ought To Begin With Love.” You can find it here. And I just recently finished writing and teaching “The…

Being Close To The Crime
I just read a book that was about a murder that happened in and around my hometown. The book is called Bitter Blood. The author, Jerry Bledsoe, was a reporter for our local newspaper when the crime took place and in the years that followed he became a best selling true crime author. I am…

The Butterfly People
It’s been almost a month since I last posted. I was sick for a couple of weeks, then the Easter prep and festivities happened. And in the middle of it all I’m trying to make a few dollars here and there. Yes, husband is still out of work, a year now. Anyway, I didn’t want…

One Day, Adam
I’m considering taking my book, “When God Got His Hands Dirty” off my Amazon shelf, dusting it off and making some changes. I wrote that book with my middle school students in mind and now I’d like to adjust it for a wider audience and maybe see if I can sell it through a more…

Welcome to the Breakdown, the Shakedown
My daughter is a musician and artist. She’s the Worship Pastor at the church that she helped start. When she graduated high school she felt led to go to college and study to be a missionary. Having been following Christ since she was a child, then attending a Christian high school, it was almost inevitable…

Thinking of Moons, Moths, and the Glory of God
In my efforts to make a little money, I have an Etsy Shop where I create things that you can print at home. I create “printables” as they call them that are worksheets, games, and crafts for kids. They’re good for home and classroom. I had such success with my Solar Eclipse packet last year…
