Eagerly Waiting
When I was a little girl, I was saved at the age of nine years old. I fell in love with this man, Jesus! I just knew it wouldn't be long, and He would part the eastern sky, blow the trumpet, and take all of us who believe in Him home for all eternity. So here I sit,...
Thanks in Squirrely Times
Learning the proper use of nouns and verbs in English class comes easily for most fifth graders. Spot jumped. Jane ran. Jack laughed. Easy peasy, right? Yet, throw in a few adjectives, adverbs, and some pesky prepositions, and watch things get a little squirrely. That...

Faith Like a Child
As a teacher, I've always loved my job and the role I have in teenager's lives. But lately, I've found myself learning more from my students than I ever expected– especially when it comes to faith. In recent weeks, I've witnessed the following: ● A popular middle...
Forever Friends
God graciously blesses us with various friend groups over a lifetime. Early childhood friends often become our best high school buddies if we live in one place long enough. Later, we bond with college classmates and others with whom we share a common element, such as...
