Several months ago I was contemplating writing a book called Cloud of Witnesses, Stories of Grace-filled Christians walking with the Lord in this life. Two people who have most influenced my walk with the Lord are Leon and Emily Pippin. Yesterday, dear Leon passed to Glory, and as I post this, Emily is hospitalized for the second time this month.

Along with dear friends Jeff and Priscilla Framm, Marion Redding, and the three Bettys: Bettie Pruitt, Betty Winn, David Fife,…..

When difficulties occur, I remain steadfast that God is good, all the time. He is sovereign, He sees the big picture. He loves me. That’s all I need to know in this life and beyond.

Recently I have observed several truths that could be life-changing, at least as I look at them close up.

God blesses those who work for peace, for they will be called the children of God.”  Matthew said it, I believe it, let it be so. As we inaugurate a new President this day, may we be aware that God is sovereign, He appoints our days, He rules the universe, He calls our leaders to serve,…..

2016 was a great year for me as a writer. I was just compiling a list for the Space Coast Writers’ Guild publication this month. God has graced me with the opportunity to write several things and get them published. My only regret is that I am better at writing than marketing. My friends and family have been supported, but I have given away more books than I have sold. However, those who have read my work have been blessed…..
