Every day the media takes an opportunity to stir up our outrage. Hate. It’s all over the news. Every crime they paint with the brush of hate. They tell us something must change. The hashtags begin calling for a movement of ending hate.
My heart breaks over hate. But my heart also breaks over the idol of social justice and the lack of truth being spread from the mouths of the ones who have the answer for the cries of the human heart.
Conspiracies abound.

But God, full of full send forgiveness, stands on our behalf and says, “Forgiven. Forgiven because of […]
“I move away from the windows to stand in my living room, the one where I spend many hours each day. But this moment is different than many others; in this moment I’m aware that I am standing on holy ground – right within the walls of my own home, the world in which I […]
I stood in church and heard the Lord whisper this to me: Your greatest weakness is your strong capabilities. Ouch. Self-sufficiency. I’ve got this. I don’t need help. I will conquer this. Oh the pride. Who likes to be weak & needy? But that is right where we need to be to see the magnificent […]
Irritation, quick-temper, distracted mind, forgetfulness. These are a few signs I needed more than a social media detox. I was in need of soul healing.
