Many Christians long to see miracles like the stories in the Bible. I’ve seen some in my life, but I’ll gladly see more! But before I get to miracles, I want to start with something that’s been growing inside of me since December. The Christmas story often starts with Gabriel’s visit to Mary. Gabriel explained …
I feel like I blog a lot about grace. I don’t think that’s a problem, though. God’s grace is His power working in our lives. Empowerment. His grace is why it is possible to experience His strength when we are totally and completely weak and powerless. It’s what makes it possible to experience His joy …

Time is flying by. Wow. It’s been another interesting month. I am unable to share lots of details, and yet I want to share a little bit. The family member who had the heart attack… God worked a miracle. Many miracles, in fact, culminating in the doctor’s disbelief that his heart is now so healthy …

The devil comes to steal, kill, and destroy. On the other hand, God says: “For you have made the LORD, my refuge, Even the Most High, your dwelling place. No evil will befall you, Nor will any plague come near your tent. For He will give His angels charge concerning you, To guard you in …
How many of you are holding on to something that God has shown you, or promised you? I’m guessing that many of you are… which means you know some of where we’re at right now. Yes, we’re here in Ohio, but God hasn’t given us a house yet. I must be totally honest and say …
This isn’t a typical Thanksgiving post… yet thankfulness is a big part of it, prompting me to post what probably should have been posted a week or two ago. Have you ever felt like the Israelites, wandering around in the desert for years? You just feel like you’re going in circles, with no clear idea …
I think that each of us will have decide for ourselves whether this was a miracle, or whether my imagination played tricks on me. Here’s what happened… I was reading on the couch in the living room, and with my peripheral hearing (that’s a new term I just made up), I heard a THUD in …
