Lately, I have been believing big. Like, really big. The hardest part of believing big is the enemy. He is literally the worst. I have had a lot of time alone. In the last two weeks, I have been deep in what I and many of my writer friends call, the writer’s hidey-hole. And it is there, I get to meet with Jesus in a very dear way. The book of Romans is where I nested, and I could have …
Part-Time Jesus: Half-Hearted Belief I have come to recognize a part-time Jesus or half-hearted belief system ruling the days of my life. In all fairness, I am a busy girl. But I am not here to make excuses. Here, at the moment, is a lonely little hotel suite deep in the heart of downtown Houston.

I am writing this from a Ramada Inn in Waco, Texas. And I am on my way to West Texas for our Marine Baby’s wedding on Saturday. I was supposed to be there on Sunday, but I have been too sick to travel, with either a sinus infection or …
Trust: How to Choose What to Do Trust is one of those elusive things that seems to come and go like the tide. It was a little after 5 am when we arrived at the emergency room.
