my love isn't a weapon, it's a lifeline, reach out and take hold, and don't let go!

I'm going to give you God's truth, little girl. All men want to do is hurt you. Once you give them your heart, they tear it to shreds." ~Francine Rivers; Redeeming Love

Love one another, Jesus said. Sometimes it took a lifetime to learn how. Sometimes it took someone to hit rock bottom to make someone reach up and grasp hold and be lifted from the mire to stand on a firm foundation.

Fiction can serve in a non-threatening way to open minds and, I hope, hearts to the Word of God.

Lord, you are God! You made us. Who better to know how to fix us when we've gone wrong? who better to set us to rights again? Who better to love us through the fire and refine us into something beautiful and useful despite our wrongs?

True beauty is rare, and seldom recognized by the one who possesses it.

Never doubt God in the darkness what he has given us in the light.
