InI Hope You Dance, Skye Foster has been hired to teach bride and groom and the bridesmaids and groomsmen how t...

Don’t Look Behind!

My church just finished a year-plus long study of the Gospel of John. Rich, rich stuff!


I have a particular fondness for the final chapter of this book in the Bible (and have blogged about it more than once). It is a favorite for lots of reasons. But here are the verses I wanted to share with you today:


Peter therefore seeing him [John, who was following Jesus and Peter] said to Jesus, “Lord, and what about this man?” Jesus said to him, “If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you...

A Note to My Blog Subscribers Regarding the Scavenger Hunt

Scavenger Hunt 2014Hey, friends. I wanted to give subscribers to my bloga bit of a heads-up about what will happen this evening.

We have to do it this way so the organizerscan look for broken links and try to correct any down sites.

Video Clip from the ACFW Awards Gala

I was able to obtain a clip of the presentation of the Lifetime Achievement Award from the ACFW Awards Gala on September 27th. So I thought I would share it with my readers. My main regret is the microphone being up so high so that it is in my face while I talked. Oh well. My own fault for wearing flats (for comfort) instead of heels (for fashion). Right? Or my own faultfor not lowering it myself. Such is life. Sigh…




There are lots more videos to be seen on my YouTube channel. Check it out.
