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.

If today were your last, would you do what you're doing? Or would you love more, give more, forgive more?

Gratitude is a dialysis of sorts... it flushes the self-pity out of our systems.

The Lord is near! You're not alone. You may feel alone. You may think you're alone. But there's never a moment in which you face life without help. God is near. God repeatedly pledges his proverbial presence to his people. Don't assume God is watching from a distance. Avoid the quicksand that bears the marker "God has left you!" Don't indulge this lie. If you do, your problem will be amplified by a sense of loneliness. It's one thing to face a challenge, but to face it all alone? Isolation creates a downward cycle of fret.

Write today's worries in sand. Chisel yesterday's victories in stone.

Regardless of the circumstances that surrounded your arrival, you are not an accident. God planned you before you were born.

I'm protective of the reputation of Christ and the church.
