Months ago, my sister-in-law commented on how she thought my children’s book could be a wonderful resource to victims of trafficking. In light of the Epstein files being released and my growing awareness of how rampant and atrocious this industry is, I really hope she’s right. Here’s a free link to read the story. Please… Continue reading For the Victims/Para las Víctimas

A Season for Rest
Photo from Pexels.com Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

A Year of Gratitude
I did things a little differently this year. If you have been following this blog for some time, you know that I generally write a list of the best things about the year over the Thanksgiving weekend. It becomes a time for me to remember how gracious God has been to me and my family… Continue reading A Year of Gratitude
Journal Entries and Mind Battles
Photo by Lady Escabia from Pexels I debated about whether to post this or not. Perhaps I wouldn’t at all had I written this more recently.

Spreading the Light
Photo by Gantas Vaiu010diulu0117nas on Pexels.com I had another post ready to share today, but it doesn’t seem appropriate in light of Charlie Kirk’s passing.

Life seemed much too busy, however, to actually find the time to turn this… Continue reading Not Without You

The Story Behind the Story
I posted a six-part video series in September regarding a children’s book I hope to publish this spring. I’ve been a little less active on this blog due to focusing on that story and the general busyness of life as of late, but I wanted to share what I did on social media since I… Continue reading The Story Behind the Story
