Today was my day to write a post about hope. I told Daniel that I was going to skip it because I had nothing of worth to say. So he said he’d write one for me. I hope his words mean as much to you as they did to me. From Daniel: Your worst dayContinueContinue reading “Finding Hope: A Husband’s Perspective”

Where is Joy?
Life is hard. We all know that. It’s why so many Christian authors, myself included, focus on joy and hope in their books. Because we are all just trying to make it through life. But that joy?

The Secret to Joy
I feel like I write these type of posts a lot, so if you still read them, either I am not alone in the world of figuring oneself out or you are really bored. All of you who have been around awhile or read previous posts know that I am the type to constantly pushContinueContinue reading “The Secret to Joy”
NaNo, Photos, and Books
One more day to NaNoWriMo!!! Am I scared, you ask? Why yes, yes I am. Terrified that I am going to sit in front of my keyboard and have absolutely nothing to say.
