She was dragged half-naked through the dusty streets. The clothes that covered her earlier that morning, were left behind in passion and now in regret. Now shame was the only thing that covered her. Everything was spinning and the angry crowd spat upon her, hit her and pushed her through the streets. These were not …
Why God is Silent on Spaghetti.
My kids know me. They know me well. There are certain things that my husband and I allow and certain things we do not allow in the house. We have a culture, an atmosphere, so to speak, in our home and our kids know the drill. I am pretty laid back, but I do like …
Saying Goodbye to My Friend Fear.
When I was 8, I stared at my friend's mom as she said, "I love horror movies!!" "Why?" I was perplexed. "Why would you want something in your mind that is scary? What is there to love?" "I just think fear feels delicious!" She said very excited. Hmmm, I thought. That is weird. I hate …
The Ancient of Days is a Youthful Soul….
What do you think of when you think of God? Do you think of an old man in a rocking chair? Do you think of an invisible life force that has no feelings, only power? Do you think of a father who is mean and angry, waiting for you to mess up so he can …

How long does a prophecy have to be fulfilled before someone is considered a false prophet? How long did it take for Isaiah's prophecies about Israel to come true? Jeremiah's?

12 years ago, my husband and I started Emmaus Church with my parents, Mike and Jeanne Dean. I remember in the very early days, before our first service at Emmaus even began, we joined together with Living Water Church to do a Christmas program. I wrote up a short and fun theatrical program with various …

Just a Mom.
When I was in high school, I used to lay on my bed and talk to my mom about everything I wanted to do with my life. I didn't want to be "just" anything, especially a mom. Moms really seem to be at the bottom of the totem-pole, at least they did in my teenage …
Confidence in Prayer- Get it!
Tonight, I am going to my Daddy, my Abba Father, and asking him to bring someone up from their sick bed. This is a serious situation, and honestly, I am praying in faith, not knowing what I will wake up to in the morning. But, I am praying in confidence. 1 John 3:1 See how great …
