What if You Could Turn Fear Into Faith?
We all can fall into the trap of fearing what we "see" instead of trusting in the faith we "know" despite our best efforts and intentions ... especially when circumstances are difficult or situations don't happen as we hoped. Our brief quiz will help you identify where you might be struggling with the war being waged within your mind.
Hindsight: Seeing Clearly through the Veil of Deception
In Joyce Meyer’s bestselling book, Battlefield of the Mind, she attests that indeed “there is a war which rages in our minds.” Hindsight takes readers on a journey through Rhonda Madge’s tumultuous life to reveal how she fell prey to anxious thoughts that molded her mind through a belief in the whispered lies.
A horrific event at the age of seventeen left Rhonda continually searching for something or someone to fill the dark chasm of her heart. Tears seemed to puddle around her wherever she went. However, she learned to carefully hide herself in a masquerade put on for the outside world, allowing her to project that all was well with her soul even as the slow decay continued from within. Those who find themselves pretending will be drawn to the answers her story presents.
But it was God who worked to lift the veil from Rhonda’s eyes, allowing her to see that, though she thought He was far from her, He remained at arm’s length. Thus a seeker’s interest will be peeked as they read about Rhonda’s exploration of who and what God truly is--a loving, personal God. Those who struggle with life’s hardships will be encouraged and inspired to practice Rhonda’s perseverance.
In a world where sorrow is often heaped upon sorrow, this very real story bares truth that will leave readers filled with hope.

The Laundromat
Joy was the word for the day when my new washing machine and dryer arrived last November. The excitement faded rather quickly, though, once I had scheduled a repair man for the third time. Yes, you read that right. When, after the second repair, they completely stopped working, we were told that it had been…
A Voice to the Voiceless
When I look into our youngest daughter’s inquisitive eyes, they seem to dance with wonder. Her creative mind sees beauty wherever she looks, especially when she is behind the lens of a camera. However, it hasn’t always been easy for her to express her self. Soon after adopting Rachel, then seven, from the Ukraine, we…
Thinking of you Mr. Fly
I will never forget the day I saw the man who sat on his front porch in a tattered lawn chair. His stained white t-shirt and faded levi’s hung loose on his body. I couldn’t help but notice that his gray hair was slicked over to one side and that he badly needed a shave.…
It’s So Hard to Say the Word
Murder. Webster’s definition is to kill or slaughter inhumanly or barbarously. I suppose that’s why it’s hard to say the word, especially when someone you love dies from bloodshed. I was only seventeen the day it happened—the day my daddy was murdered. When life was supposed to be full of anticipation, everything as I knew…
My Friend Joe
I have such fond memories of traveling down the Dnieper River on a Ukrainian cruise ship. The destination wasn’t an exotic island, but an orphanage where children desired a hug more than anything else in the world. Stickers of Mickey and Minnie caused little feet to dance in delight. There was one day I will…
The Unexpected
Over the years, when my man has come to me with “an idea” it usually has caused me to cringe just a tad. I’m not sure why, because he has proven to be worthy of a few good ones. A while back, he stumbled upon ten acres of land under foreclosure. It had been a…
