Thoughts from my Peaceful Readers
“Just a quick note to let you know that I am truly blessed as I read your uplifting yet down to earth writings. You have a gift from the Lord and you share it generously with us.” ~ M.A.
“I don’t think I’ve ever looked at Samson’s story so broken down. Piece by piece. I learned a lot and am excited to read part 2.” ~ Melissa
“WOW! JUST WOW! What a treat to peek inside the curtains of your home and see just how all of the blessings impacted your family and soul and the revival it made, invigorating you in parts of your day that were needed just at the right time. I can’t wait to read the next entry.” ~ JCH

Series basics
Exploring the Bible—Series 5
Join me as we go from simply reading God’s word to actually lingering and digging for more. Start in The Beauty of the Bible, which includes my favorite scriptures, the jaw-dropping story of Samson, the powerful resurrection of Jesus, and the epic story of Esther.
Christian Living—Series 4
Enjoy The Fruit of The Spirit, digging into the subject of prayer, battling the darkness with The Armor of God and much more. (Walk through Christian Living topics in the index.) What does it really mean to be a Christian? Treasuring and following Jesus. Read the Thanksgiving posts and my salvation story (part 1 and part 2).

Forgiving—Series 3
Have you had trouble forgiving sometimes? Maybe you have some questions about what forgiving really is and isn’t. Do you wonder about how forgiving—or not forgiving—impacts your life and your relationships? Join us for this series as we explore the many, many aspects of forgiving. Start with Do I Have To? And continue the adventure as we explore together.
Grieving—Series 2
Do you know someone who needs help or encouragement in grieving—dealing successfully with loss and trauma? Invite your friend or loved one to journey through this series in the months ahead. Start with the first post, Why?, and keep on reading.
My sincere thanks to the experts who’ve shared their experiences and knowledge with us, so we can walk all the way through The Season of Grieving—one loss, one trauma at a time.
