Why The Fragrance is Unmistakable
It is early morning and I am up sipping steamy energy from a cup, turning the pages in my Bible seeking the diapason of His word for my soul. Our cat, Lil Girl, snuggles in beside me on the well-loved couch and begins her purring of contentment. She rolls over in...
Who Else Is Struggling With Forgiveness?
Forgiveness. Just the word reminds me of hurt. It’s probably the toughest thing we ever struggle with, and if we’ve faced hurt over and over, it can seem downright impossible. Today I am with Laurie Wallin and we are talking about forgiveness. Have you ever found it...

Because Going Back Changes Your Perspective
The day I went back began one afternoon several years ago. I picked up my children from school, we grabbed a treat from a drive-through and went for an after school drive, as I listened to them tell me about their day. “Amber likes Robert…Robert likes baseball…Karen...
The Back of the Hand
