Where is God when you are doing everything right yet, because of someone else’s actions, everything is wrong? Where do we find hope when it’s clouded by the ashes of other people’s choices? It’s one thing to live with the consequences of your own actions. It’s quite another to live with the outcome of someone […]
The phone slices right through the day’s normal. “She’s in her final hours,” the caller says. In a dash, I grab purse and coat and head out for the ninety-minute trip. Ninety minutes that hang like shadows, reminding me of the times I never made that trip. “We’ll be there soon, I promise,” I’d told […]

Column Post by Lakin Easterling “Now unto him who is able to do far more abundantly than all we ask or think, according to the power at work within us…” ~Ephesians 3:20 There is a whole lot about God I am in the process of learning. A lot of that comes from reading. I’m a reader, and I […]
Only one thing is more frightening than speaking your truth, and that is not speaking it. ~Naomi Wolf Life is hard sometimes, not always made up of syrupy storybook tales as some faith-pushers would have us believe. I met Jesus under the umbrella of belief that all is well once you “cross over.” I’ve since […]
When wounds cut deep, the opinion of others sometimes matters most. How much that must hurt God’s heart. Consider God’s first recorded reaction when dealing with our triggered-by-others insecurities. One evening when the breeze fell among the trees in the garden, Adam and Eve lay open their painful remorse (Gen 3:11 MSG). “I was afraid…I […]
For a long time, certain triggers made me feel as if someone had poured acid; to forgive implying a gross injustice. The thorns of forgiveness rebelled against the unfairness of all. It’s hard not to harbor bitterness. For years I nurtured a dark, deep-rooted hatred for my father. I didn’t realize the volatility until one day, […]
When I first began writing, my words flowed and dripped onto the paper like sweet honey. Writing was so easy. All I had to do was write a great story, and publishers would clamor to print my work. Who needed to read books on writing, or have writing partners, or attend writing conferences? Me! I […]
