If there are a thousand steps between us and God, He will take all but one. He will leave the final one for us. The choice is ours.

How we handle our tough times stays with us for a long time.

We may speak about a place where there are no tears, no death, no fear, no night; but those are just the benefits of heaven. The beauty of heaven is seeing God.

What Christ does in us and through us will always be 'exceedingly abundantly above all we ask or think.'

You have a God who hears you, the power of love behind you, the Holy Spirit within you, and all of heaven ahead of you. If you have the Shepherd, you have grace for every sin, direction for every turn, a candle for every corner and an anchor for every storm. You have everything you need.

Scripture often reminds us that it's not enough to have ears - we must use them.

There's a great place for good Christian children's books. After the upcoming projects I'm working on, I'd like to turn my attention back to children's books. Maybe with a granddaughter I'll have more inspiration and new ideas.
