how to see God’s power in the midst of your limitations
Have you ever been frustrated by your own limitations? This past December, I was sick in bed for three weeks straight, including two days in the hospital. I didn’t even see my kitchen for six days in a row. On my best days, I managed to walk myself to the bathroom without help. On my worst days, I couldn’t even hold my phone while lying down. Needless to say, it was a trying time. I was frustrated by how little I could do. I couldn’t even lift a book to read. After 21 days of severe illness, I finally started to feel better. Then I promptly stepped outside, slipped on ice,...

i signed a book contract :: here’s the back story
I signed a book contract. Back in September last year, I got the news that my manuscript was approved by Discovery House. Just after noon on an otherwise ordinary Tuesday, I read the e-mail from my phone while holding a paint roller in my other hand. I was decked out in my grubby paint clothes, having just finished rolling a coat of white paint onto the ceiling where the drywall had to be repaired after the bathtub leaked. My eyes caught the words "Congratulations! Your book was approved!" just before they caught my son "wiping spilled water off the counter" with his Matchbox car. I...
