My Saint Patrick Book is Available Now!
Maybe it seems strange for me to be writing children’s books about certain saints, especially since I’m not Catholic. But I wanted my grandkids (and others who are interested) to know that these holidays we celebrate here in the US like, Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day Christmas with St. Nicholas, are based on real people…

Three Devotions About Trusting God
I accomplished two things with this post. One, I needed to preach to myself and two, I needed to share a sample of my writing. I hope a third thing happens: I hope you are blessed. Peace, my friends. Three Devotionals on Trusting God 1. Trust God and Not Your Own Understanding “Trust in the…

Trusting God Is Hard
We knew when Steave got laid off 10 months ago that this was something God was doing. We knew because it wasn’t something Steave did or didn’t do, the corporate entity made an indiscriminate choice. There was no one to blame or get mad at. We also knew God was up to something because we…

These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things

It Was Near Christmas
In an earlier post, I said I would be bringing back some posts from the past, and this is one such piece. I wrote this one back when my kids were in elementary and middle school right after it happened. I think back on it often and it’s still just as funny and embarrassing as…

When God Got His Hands Dirty
This is an excerpt from my book of the same name. “Then the Lord God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being. The Lord God planted a garden toward the east in Eden; and there He placed the man who…
