A Reader’s Response
It’s not often that I get much response to my blogs other than a few short comments on Facebook and likes here and there. But, last week after I wrote about Men, Ministry and Sexual Misconduct I received an email that I want to share. Julia Ruggieri is a high school math teacher in southern […]
Grace Without Truth
I have a friend on Facebook who posted this today: “I was having conversation with one of my dearest friends earlier tonight over dinner when we got on the light topic of abortion (lol).

In the Safety of Grace

I plan to write about boundaries once I finish the book, but a line in the book caught my attention that I want to share because I found it really powerful.
