Let’s start simple – how do you define ‘devotion’? I probably should ask if you have operationalized your definition. Is there (what […]
The following is a kinda tease. I’ve begun writing my next book. “Becoming… ME!!!”, And I thought I’d give you a taste (though I have no idea when the book will be published – I haven’t finished writing it yet). Those of you who are familiar with my writing know that my style/MO/approach is to
WHO is God to you? Is He the God of ‘out there’ or the God of ‘right here’? It is your choice you know. And yes, I’m talking about relationship again. I’ve learned so much about relationship with the God of the Universe in the past 6 months and HAVE to share. I find it

Do you ever find yourself at a loss for words? Me? Rarely… rarely. It’s not that I’m not surprised by what we all do and say, it’s more that I typically also have a reaction… one, that I’m pleased to say, I’ve learned to not always articulate. However, the actual shock/surprise/ jaw dropping response resulting
