Facing My Fear
What scares you? I mean really scares you…to the point of being physically ill and unable to think of anything else. How do you deal with fear that grips your body, mind, and spirit?

Power of Prayer
Two weeks to live. This is what doctors told a longtime, christian friend four weeks ago. During those four weeks, I have found myself questioning how to even pray.

God’s Backseat Driver
Trusting God is sometimes like teaching a teenager to drive. Someone else has the wheel, and you have no real control. Moving from the driver’s seat to the passenger’s seat as your teen learns to drive can cause a lot of uneasy feelings. You have just lost complete control of the vehicle to someone who … Continue reading God’s Backseat Driver
