Seeing the dedication of this book is to one of my favorite pastors made me smile. I’ve only seen Pastor Jon Courson once, when he spoke at a Children’s Ministry Retreat in Southern California in the ’90s. I still remember the message he taught on the prophet who had been […]
My husband and I watched a Russell Crowe movie that came out in 2010 called The Next Three Days. The premise is that a woman is accused of murdering her boss and ends up in jail. Her husband, having failed to get her acquitted, does whatever it takes to break […]
My parents couldn’t have known the problems they would cause by giving me the name they did. You see, I have a lisp. And having a name ending with an “s” isn’t the best option for someone like me. I control it fairly well now, after going through speech therapy […]
