October is my favorite month–maybe because the weather and the leaves change (and I celebrate another birthday). It’s also the month of the Protestant Reformation and Halloween. Martin Luther chose the date wisely for nailing his 95 theses to the church door in Wittenberg. “Martin Luther is said to have posted […]
I will give thanks to the Lord with all my heart. I will tell of all the great things You have done. ~Psalm 9:1 (NLV) How many great things has God done for you recently? Do you only count the “BIG” ones? Do you notice the “little” ones, too? Do you recognize, especially the little […]

I’m incredibly excited, but I also light-heartedly joke about my Red Sea Revisions, as I tackle the task ahead. If I cross the sea successfully, the reward awaits.
