The hope and purpose of Christmas is the best gift we could ask for...Jesus! This season I'm compelled to share with you an organization that is passionate about doing what Jesus did & what we as Christians are called to do...set the captives free.

I have to say that it has been far too long since I have done writing of any kind. I’m uncertain if it has been out of fear of letting my mind go freely or just the weariness that has been shut up in my bones. Writing is like oxygen for me; if I’m deprivedContinue reading "A Beautiful Work…"

So, a small package came in the mail for me today. I was first afraid that someone was trying to sell me something, but with nervous anticipation I opened the package and this is what I saw (I don't think I have been so suprised, except maybe my high school graduation suprise party)...I SCREAMED!

I LOVE a good story... I am drawn and captivated by a simplistic truth to storytelling. I ache to see the richness of human souls displayed, be it a painting, a song, a sculpture, or all too often,…a film. Penelope is such a film. I was undone by the simplistic beauty of this film. ThisContinue reading "Penelope"
