Let Go (part 1 of 4)
Someone recently gave me a handout with some great words on "letting go". It is almost too much to take in at once, so I am going to unpack it over a few weeks. Here's the first part:To "let go" does not mean to stop caring; it means I can't do it for someone else.To...

Ankles
I just did a four day stint in the hospital with my "Christian." He had an extremely bad ankle bleed. It's his target joint. He stopped walking on Monday, May 9th and finally walked on his own on Sunday, May 15th. It was very painful. When you watch your child...
Precious in His Sight
When I lived in Houston, I had several opportunities to hear Beth Moore teach at Houston's First Baptist Church (my home away from home as a musician and young college student). I had always heard of her but didn't really know who she was until I was in my early 30's....
