The Goodness of God
Recently I received a question to answer for GotQuestions.org: 'Why did Jesus resist healing the Gentile Canaanite woman's daughter (Matthew 15:22-24, 26) and yet healed the Centurion's servant without hesitation (Matthew 8:5-7)?'

Why Do We Psych Ourselves Out?

For the past few months I have been working on a seminar to teach at the church I attend on how to overcome fear in evangelism. To say that I have a few notes is a gross understatement.

…And an Elder in a Bear Tree: A look back at 2022
At the end of 2022 I started following another WordPress website called, Chasing Faith and Love which has some great ideas about writing and life. Her title of her 2022 recap summed it up for me: "Merry Crisis, Happy New Fears." To say that all my plans and goals were not completed was an understatement.... Continue Reading →
