I recently heard a godly man talking about how upset he was when his father passed away. As he thought about all of the plans he and his dad had made for the future, he became bitter and depressed. When the Lord dealt with him about having an unthankful attitude, […]

“The Doppelganger Experiment” by Michael Weaver
So, how exactly do you explain death to a 3-year old? If you have an answer, please let me know. Recently, I could not come up with an answer myself, so I chose to bypass the issue. Let me explain… My daughter has, or had, a pet hamster named Eleanor (a […]
“Honesty is the Best Policy?” by John DiBiase
Among my many faults is the tendency to wear my heart of my sleeve… of every piece of clothing I own. On the eve of Easter, we visited Amy’s family as part of the traditional sharing of the holidays between our respective families. This also happened to be the first […]
“Lessons from a Fall” by J.M. Farro
This past Saturday, my husband, Joe, and I made an impromptu trip to the mall to look for new shoes for me to wear the following day on Easter Sunday. As we got out of our car and began walking toward the store, I took a nasty fall. Battered and […]

“The Strap-On Black Pillow” by Amy DiBiase
One of the scariest parts of coming to the realization that I am actually “with-child” … is how my once ballet-physique is beginning to dramatically change. Okay, so the truth is, it has been quite some time since I sported a ballet costume and wore my toe-shoes … but I […]
“You Can Make a Difference” by J.M. Farro
Just the other night, I was watching one of the greatest evangelists of our time talking about his intense desire to win souls for Christ, and how it inspired him to lead millions into the Kingdom of God. As I listened to this man’s testimony, I began feeling woefully inadequate […]
“Great-Grammy Pauline” by Amy DiBiase
Today, will be quite an exciting day I think … not just to be able to get together with my parents, brother, John, and my grandmother Pauline – but to be able to share the surprising news with my Grammy that she is going to be a great-grammy!!! Honestly, this […]
