Soon I’ll be at the Empowered Women’s Conference in Kalamazoo, Michigan and am beside myself with excitement. When dozens, or hundreds – or thousands of women get together to praise and worship and spend time together in the presence of God, amazing things always happen.
Hearts are mended, relationships are…..
Sandy and Noel Johnson first stood in front of my book signing table at the January Iowa Right to Life event in Des Moines and I instantly like them. They’re the typical good-looking, nicely dressed, well-spoken sorts whose demeanor welcomes you with ease. Their humble confidence exudes peace and love. Finding their eyes when I presented my “No One Could Know” testimony brought familiarity even…..
Have you ever attended a book signing, whether you’ve stumbled upon it by chance or set out on purpose? I’d love to know your thoughts and tips before my next one on Saturday, March 28 at Parable Book Store in Omaha!
I so appreciate people who write letters to editors. You folks are doers. Men and women who take the time to pen thoughts are the exception in our society, I believe.
Oh sure, social media posts can be made these days even from remote corners of the world, but those who take time to email or write to a newspaper…..
Recently, I had the pleasure of speaking in a workshop at the annual Iowa Right to Life March for Life conference, and something happened.
Keynote speaker Josh Brahm took this photo of the 4,000 baby shoes and banner which read, “They’d march if they could.” The display was poignant and moving – so much so that…..
Why would a woman speak publicly about her abortion?
I’m having a hard time holding back about having an abortion, now 32 years later (almost to the date.) Not by any means is such a thing something to gloat about — on the contrary, the pain is intense; no matter how many times I’ve spoken about it, it doesn’t…..
When I wrote “No One Could Know,” I knew it would minister to women who’ve been through a rape or have experienced abortion. But several reactions to the book have taken me by surprise.
First, I’ve been surprised by the number of men who have confided in me that they have been raped. There’s a shocking number of people…..
Have you ever felt guilty? Have you ever experienced self-loathing because of something you’ve done or said? Throughout most of our lives, we’ve felt that twinge of regret, or have wallowed in the “wouldda-couldda-shoulddas.”
But for some of us, when we realized the depth and breadth of our actions, our emotions consumed us to such a degree that suicide…..
Have you ever had a bad day? How about a bad week? Or a bad … year?
2014 has been one tough nut for the Gray family. Thankfully, we know a way out, and in 2015, we believe we will recover all.
The greatest King in the Bible, David, experienced compound grief too. While away on a mission, David’s enemy armies (plural) invaded a city in his kingdom……
When your back’s against the wall and daggers are blazing at you what do you do?
This year we decided to make a move to another city to help another pastor start a second campus. Since that decision was made, a ridiculous number of unfortunate events have taken place to pull us off track. That’s how it goes sometimes,…..
