Those who know me, know I love to learn–and to share. What God shows me as I study becomes the material I share online. Each week I write for TBL Faith News and Lambs of the Lord (a children’s site). Those pieces are as much my heart for followers of Christ as the material I place on here, and I want to make it readily available. So here are some additional pieces that may speak to your heart.

She patiently and persistently redirects me. Best of all: my struggles with the GPS help me see my problems with a bigger and better guide: God Himself.

Helping children learn to walk out their faith is the highest privilege and priority parents have. It is my joy to offer some devotions geared to that.
