Holy week. A week we remember why grace is so amazing. It was Good Friday. And I was deeply grieved. I was making lunch and asked Charlie to get my computer from upstairs. He grabbed it, put it on the sink (about to fall in), and I found the cord left haphazardly left across my … Continue reading The Amazing Thing About Grace
What Is The Point Of It All? Have you ever thought that to yourself? What is the point of it all? And let me tell you, today was one of those days that I needed THIS reminder of what God taught me a couple of months ago.

“When we go to Florida, angels will protect our plane”. Olivia said that a few weeks ago. I didn’t even know she really knew what an angel was. I mean they are in some of the Bible stories we read to her but, I am pretty sure we have never told her what their roles … Continue reading Who Is God?

Scripture talks … Continue reading The One Thing We Should Fear

My son teaches me a lot about my walk with Christ. And this year he has taught me about 20/20 vision. Is it just my him, or when you ask your child to get something (like the shoes that are right in front of them) they say "I couldn't see them!" Sometimes I think his … Continue reading What 2020 Taught Me About 20/20 Vision
Does it feel like Christmas to you? Go ahead, and honestly answer that. I will. I am struggling with the balance of what I want, and what I can't have.

A Different Kind Of Christmas Let's face it, this Christmas is just going to be different. There is no getting around it. And this is what I am writing about on Candidly Christian today.
