That little burning bush that is the signature of the blog - it echoes Elizabeth Barrett Browning's words.

The Word God wastes nothing and He heals two broken hearts with one story - the reader and the writer.

Who would ever know the greater graces of comfort and perserverance, mercy and forgiveness, patience and courage, if no shadows fell over a life?

Practice is the hardest part of learning, and training is the essence of transformation.

God’s not out to get you - He’s out to give to you.

Kathie Lee [Gifford] invited me to come to New York for lunch with her - and surprised with an unexpected shout out again for One Thousand Gifts on the show and graciously asked a few questions on camera. Indebted to her and the people who read and looked for Jesus in the pages and shared the hope and joy of Him - right where they are.

When the heart and mind focus on things unseen - that's when there's a visible change in us.
