A story in time for Easter! Coming soon! A single night changed his entire life. Malchus didn’t want to be there that night in the garden, but as a servant to the High Priest, he had no choice. But when one of Jesus’ followers cut off his ear, the action set him on a journey … More Cover Reveal

Never Too Late for Love

I thought I’d share some of them and see if any of them strike a similar chord … More Caroling, Caroling

What Kind of Hard?

Life is hard. That’s not a surprise as we’ve been examining grief over the past few weeks. But what was a surprise to me was how hard marriage is. In fact, married life could easily be classified as one of the most difficult challenges of life. I hope that doesn’t scare anyone who is still … More What Kind of Hard?
