Experiencing loss––in the varied ways it comes to us––affects everyone differently. As adults, we have ways to verbalize how we are feeling. Many children, however, lack the vocabulary and the understanding to name the emotions they experience when they go through grief. They just know they are hurting inside. They are feeling sad, angry, lonely, or maybe even scared. These feelings manifest in different ways depending on the age of the children. This book explores the story of a sister and a brother who love watching a mama bird care for her babies until the unthinkable...

If God is good, why does He allow evil and suffering? How can we reconcile a good God and the present existence of evil that we see around us? These questions are less about the evil that inhibits the earth and more about the kind of God who allows it to exist and continue. In many ways, when people ask these questions, they are saying to God, “How could You? How dare You? Why would You allow this to happen?” With all the evil in the world, it’s easy to find someone to blame for suffering. Yet, the world that we see, with all its suffering and evil has an explanation. In...

28 Days of Praising My Savior - with joy, laughter and gladness!

And for those of you who have already hit instantaneous menopause via that hysterectomy or who are already there due to God’s natural physical path for our bodies, you can attest to the fact that with menopause also comes similar hormonal changes, hot-flashes, cravings and emotional roller coasters....

This book is a peek into my journey through fostering and adopting children. It's also the story of how I became so passionate about "the lost children" in our society, both in the USA and abroad. While fostering children was not a choice for me, I never thought I could emotionally handle it, it became an eye-opener to the number of abused and neglected children that live just around the corner. From the first two children that came for the weekend, to the ones that came after we were officially foster parents, I never regretted a minute. ...
