How To Be An Author
On a recent road trip, I had the pleasure of visiting with my college roommate. She picked me up at the Denver airport and shuttled me to my daughter’s house in Colorado Springs.

When God Said No by Renee Ann Smith
Last month, I wrote about the heartache I sometimes feel when God doesn’t give me what I want. You see, I’ve had this problem since I was small: I just don’t like taking no for an answer. There have been times in my adult life when a no from God reduced me to a sulking, … Read More

Overcoming by Angie Arndt
Philippians is one of my favorite books in the Bible. It is a compact letter so full of deep wisdom and practical direction. One of my favorite verses in this little gem is the last part of the 13 – 14th verses of chapter 3: “… Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, … Read More

Working From Home—Is It a Real Job?
A few weeks ago, I received a contact form off my website–the best one ever! It said: Did you used to sell Mary Kay Cosmetics? I had some Mary Kay products for a long time that had gold labels on them with the name Mesu Andrews on them. I came to your house one time with … Read More

If you’ve read more than two chapters of the Old Testament, you’ve probably realized a name ain’t just a name. There’s a whole discipline, called Etymology, devoted to the study of names. Giving names is an honor God bestowed on man while his fellowship was yet unbroken by sin. What a privilege our God gave …

How Do You Love An Invisible God?
I’m in New Mexico this weekend, speaking at a women’s retreat on my favorite topic, Sacred Love, Sacred Dance. These precious women and I will laugh and cry our way through all eight chapters of Solomon’s Song of Songs.

Does God Play Favorites? by Renee Ann Smith
Did you ever feel like God was playing favorites and you were being left out? Have you ever looked around at what others received—maybe things you desperately wanted from God—and wondered why He said ‘yes’ to them and ‘no’ to you? Elijah did. Remember the complaint he threw in God’s face? “[Elijah] replied, ‘I have … Read More

Dealing With the Green-Eyed Monster
Here’s honesty for you…I’m cranky about Mother’s Day. I’m a mother that won’t get to see my moms, my daughters, or my grandkids. Harrumph! What’s worse? I’m fighting the Green-Eyed Monster–jealous of those who get to hug and love on my mom, my daughters, and my grandkids. Isnt’ that TERRIBLE?!?!?! Jealousy is an ugly thing. I’d … Read More
