Love

The other day I saw a question on the internet. It was "how do you soften a hardened heart?" The question was in regard to a troubled marriage, but I'm sure the same inquiry could be made of any person or persons in any given situation. I suppose the question must be asked –what causes [...]

Today is Monday. I don't know what it's like where you live but it's been foggy, rainy/sleety, and gray for most of the day. Ah. Winter in Michigan.

Harry Potter: A Missed Opportunity

One of the most common questions I receive as a speaker and former witch is "What do you think about Harry Potter"?  I have always found this to be a rather loaded question…because generally the person is looking for validation of their point of view.  So regardless of my answer there will almost always be [...]

Living a godly life. 2 Peter 1:3-11

Do you ever wonder what it means to live a godly life in today's instant gratification world?  I do.  I think about it a lot actually, because I realize how, over the past forty some odd years of my life,  I often have not.  How many times have I been impatient at the grocery store, [...]
