A Letter to My 8-Year-Old Self

You'll spend a lot of your life feeling like you don't fit in. Most of the time, you'll believe it's because you're not enough, and then you'll swing to you're just too much.

Books I Have Found Impacting Or Enjoyable Reading

It's been raining in California for the past few days, and all I want to do is curl up on my couch with a good book, a cup of coffee, a warm blanket and read! Fat chance! I don't have a lot of extra time to read. However, I try every summer…

My Will or God's Will

This is what the Lord says; Stop at the crossroads and look around. Ask for the old, godly way, and walk in it. Travel it's path, and you will find rest for your souls. But you replied, 'No, that's not the road we want!' I posted a watchman…
